The Sailor 1911 Standard fountain pen in Blue with gold-plated trim is a terrific everyday writer from Sailor, a company which is renowned for the high quality and smooth writing characteristics of their nibs. The 1911 Standard fountain pen, also known as the 1911 Mid-Size in some markets, is the perfect choice for those looking for a stylish and smooth-writing pen with a 14k nib that is also highly affordable. The slightly bigger sibling is the 1911 Large fountain pen, that may work better for larger hands.
The Sailor 1911 Standard fountain pen in Blue with gold-plated trim is a cartridge-converter pen that can be filled with bottled ink using the Sailor converter or proprietary cartridges, both of which are included. It ships in an attractive presentation box. Sailor has a company history stretching back to 1911, and a reputation for quality and value that few other pen manufacturers can ever hope to match.
As an Authorized Sailor Dealer we have the ability to order just about any of the seven standard 14kt nibs (Extra Fine, Fine, Medium Fine, Medium, Broad, Zoom, Music) on any 1911 Standard fountain pen. Some models do not carry all seven nibs and some are special order from Japan. Our stock changes constantly so if you have any questions, please Contact Us for more info!
I enjoy the writing experience with this pen. The nib, for me writes well. It’s not a bouncy gold nib, it has more of a solid feel and I’m ok with that. Another thing to note about this pen is, if you have large hands your going to want to post this pen. If you prefer not posting your pen then the Sailor 1911 large would be a better option.
I'm a big fan of blue, so when I saw this pen it piqued my interest. I love the contrast of the black section and end caps, and the dark blue is an understated and professional, yet still exciting color. Sailor seems to put all their emphasis on the nib and the Medium nib is the perfect combination of line width and smoothness.
