| Sailor
95th Anniversary "Realo" Limited Edition | ||
| Using the concepts of "REliance"
And "LOcus", Sailor has produced an edition
of 100 "Realo" pens in commemoration of their 95th anniversary. We have
long wished that Sailor would produce a piston-filled fountain pen, putting it
in the league with the Pelikan and OMAS. Finally it is here. And it holds a whopping
25ml of ink, filled straight from the bottle. | ||
 | ||
| Sailor has replicated the cigar-shape style of
the full-size 1911 Colors for their
anniversary pen. However, the "Realo" is a heavier, and larger pen,
at 35g in weight and 6.5" in length, capped. | ||
 | ||
| Crafted in black acrylic resin, and with 24k gold plating on the clip and cap band, this pen has the makings of a classic. "Sailor 95th Anniversary" is engraved into the prominent gold plated cap band. | ||
| ||
| ||
 | ||
| "Realo 2006", and the edition number, is engraved on the cap, near the clip. The "Realo" comes complete with a traditional "Koushu Inden" pen pouch. The pouch is made of deer skin leather, with an Urushi lacquer applied to the surface. This technique dates back to the Edo period when lacquer treatments were used to decorate Samurai helmets and armor. The effect is sophisticated and clean. | ||
