Sailor 1911L Fountain Pen - 4am
4am… Dark yet alluring. Quiet yet mysterious. Daybreak is coming. Are you in a deep slumber? Are you already out and about? Or maybe you haven’t even gone to bed yet? The Sailor 1911 4am depicts this state of mind, whatever that may be for you. Its transparent twilight blue barrel with black ion-plated trim perfectly exudes this feeling.
A North American exclusive, this Sailor 1911 Large fountain pen features a translucent blue resin barrel and cap, reminiscent of the twilight sky at 4 a.m. It is complemented by black ion-plated accents, and comes equipped with Sailor's legendary rhodium-plated 21kt gold nib in a wide variety of nib sizes. The cap screws to open/close and can push to post onto the back of the barrel when writing. The 1911L comes with a Sailor proprietary converter as well as two proprietary Sailor Black ink cartridges.
