Rare Sailor Saibi-Togi “1911 Size” w/21k nib. MIB. created by Yukio Nagahara, son of The Late-World Renowned Nibmeister Nobuyoshi Nagahara.
Main characteristic that makes this a rare pen is: Usually, the Saibi-Togi is equipped with,
14K nib and is supplied with a Pro Gear Slim Pearl Red body. This pen’s nib is 21K and is supplied with a 1911L body, which is a much higher-class fountain pen. Jet Black cap and barrel with Silver (in color) accents.
This Pen is rarely ever seen/found in Japan.
The nib on this pen is stamped (see photos) H-SEF on the left side of nib. This stands for “Hard Super Extra Fine”. And of course, is 21k.
Cap band reads: “SAILOR-JAPAN-FOUNDED-1911”
Here is the best attempt I found to describe this Specially Designed Nib/Tip design by Yukio Nagahara: (also see photos, as I did try and capture these features).
“On the normal writing surface, they chose to create a very sharp point by grinding it somewhat like an inverted pyramid and positioned it so that only the sharp point is in contact with the paper even at various writing angles. This pointed shape, while it sacrifices the relative smoothness of the UEF’s design, allows an even smaller area of contact with the paper, without making the overall tipping excessively fragile or easily bent. (The inverted side of the nib isn't wasted either, being ground to make a smooth medium)”
The pen comes complete with display box, papers, 2 sealed ink cartridges, special nib cleaning tool and outer box sleeve.
Capped, pen measures 5 9/16”.
