Jade Sailor Magellan - 14K Broad Nib

Jade Sailor Magellan

I believe Sailor offered these pens in the 1990s. They are slightly longer than a modern Sailor ProFit (1911) Slim.

The jade material is gorgeous and from a time when Sailor put more effort and investment in the bits of their pens that don't touch ink. The condition is very good with only a small scratch on the barrel - see the full length photo of the underside of the pen & nib. The plating is in perfect condition - including the trim ring at the end of the grip section.

The nib is the same size and material (14k gold) as the 1911 Slim though it has the old (now at least 2 generations old), panel and large anchor imprint. The broad (H-B) point writes a smooth, wet and lovely line. The tipping does have the Sailor facets so it produces a narrower line at a high angle to the paper.
