Very cool pen! I got into fountain pens recently, and picked up this Sailor 1911S "A Pirate's Life."
#[3] thats gorgeous. :D it's amazing to me how much schaeffer's design principles and aestetics have influenced the... entire pen industry. this looks so much like a schaeffer balance. look it up if you dont know it, you'll be amazed.
how's it write ?
It's a 14K gold nib. It writes pretty smooth considering it's an EF nib.
I've never had an EF, had a few F, but always seem to prefer medium. through and through. LOL. The one thing I've always loved about fountains is how much ink they put down, and when they don't I feel as though it's a gyp of some sort. 😄
