Sailor 1911 fountain pen, sold as the Profit in Japan, in the slim body size. Coral-orange resin with gold-plated trim and a black grip section.
The nib
The nib is Sailor’s 14K gold, stamped 14K 585 and H-B for hard broad. Broad is among the less common Sailor widths and lays down a wetter, more expressive line than the fine and medium nibs most of these shipped with. The nib carries Sailor’s earlier engraving with 1911 above the anchor, a style Sailor has since discontinued.
Cap and measurements
Cap band reads SAILOR JAPAN FOUNDED 1911. The cap crown carries an inset anchor medallion. Screw cap, posts on the barrel.

Please note
Note on the colour: this coral does not appear in Sailor’s current 1911 lineup, which lists black, maroon and ivory in the Standard. It is a Japan-market or discontinued finish.
Please note: no converter or cartridge is included. Sailor uses a proprietary filling system, so this pen takes Sailor-brand cartridges or the Sailor converter, both widely available and inexpensive. A standard international converter will not fit.
Condition
Includes the original white Sailor presentation box. Condition: excellent. No scratches, dents, chips or brassing. Gold trim is bright throughout. Nib is correctly aligned with no visible wear.
