Sailor 11-3926-432 Fountain Pen, Professional Gear, Raro, Marun, Medium Point

I have two other Sailor Pens a M/F Lecoule and a 1911 L with a zoom nib. This M nib Realo writes more like a fine, but it is very smooth and has some feedback. I am using a green Sailor ink; it writes equally well on Rhodia and standard copy paper. The sailor pens are just wet enough to give you a smooth writing experience, but they work well in almost any situation. I have multiple Pilot pens and like them, but the Pilots require some adjustment and tuning. In some cases they are designed for Japanese characters that are generally written at a high angles (e.g. Custom 912 FA) and the ink flow can be to slow for cursive. My custom 823 F wrote like an XF and also needed some adjustment to increase its ink flow. The Sailors work well in just about any situation and almost never require tuning. I would say that the Realo is superior to the 1911 L due to its overall weight and weight distribution. I bought it for a very reasonable price (1/3 rd off normal Amazon price). These Amazon deals are pretty amazing.

Bought lot pens, this is my favorite even though others cost 3x as much. Sailor comes with a 21k gold nib and I think makes the difference

As a few other reviewers point out, this is a Sailor Professional Gear "Realo" fountain pen. The box arrived extremely well packaged and the pen was sealed inside the package. Given the actual market price of ~$420 in the USA, this purchase was a steal (I paid ~$160).

Excellent pen with a 21K nib famous for its distinctive feedback.

A seller too great to be true. In addition to the excellent quality product and price he provided, he resolved all my customs-related problems with a great professionalism. Thanks for everything.

Had this in my sights for a very long time, and finally bit the bullet. Amazon supposedly undercuts sellers with preferential prices, but it redounds to the buyer.
