It has maintained the high quality material and craftsmanship from the start.

This 1911 Large Black Fountain Pen has Gold accents with a traditional style polished resin body that epitomizes elegance and quality. Review: It's not exactly like any other fountain pen - Precious resin and cheap plastic look and feel a lot alike. This attractive pen is very light in weight, so much so that my perception of the black material from which the body of the pen is made is that it is thin. When I pick up a Montblanc Meisterstück 146, which is closer in size to the Sailor 1911L than is the larger MB 149 fountain pen, the feel of the MB precious resin seems different. The MB pen feels (or at least causes the impression that it is) thicker and heavier than the 1911L. Some people may prefer the lighter feel of the Sailor. Beyond the basic black body of the 1911L, there are some bits of metal trim that are plated in gold. There are small bands on the body of the pen and on the cap, and there is a larger engraved golden belt that distinguishes the cap of the pen. Precise clean lines and clear-cut detailed engraving characterize these parts. The metal of which these items are made does not add anything perceptible to the weight of the pen. It still seems light. The real distinction of this Sailor 1911L fountain pen is the 21-karat gold nib. The feel of this nib is legendary. It is smooth. Probably as smooth as any fountain pen nibs that have ever slid across paper. While I personally wish that the 1911L pen had more heft, this nib is the real star element of the entire pen. Among the pens I own, there are a few with nibs as smooth as this Sailor 1911L nib, but none is smoother; and certainly none was so smooth right out of the box. If someone wants a medium-size, light-weight, traditional looking black fountain pen that has a nib almost beyond belief in its smoothness, the Sailor 1911L should be toward, if not at, the top of that person's list. Moreover, even with a 21-karat gold nib, this pen is affordable (it's not cheap)—in fact, I would probably rank it as one of the best, if not the best, buy for a world-class fountain pen that one can find. Review: My hands had never used a smoother pen, period. - I had done infinite research before buying this pen and I was worried whether I had made a good decision in buying the 21k nib, I mean it was on the costlier side. All my apprehensions vanished in thin air the moment I penned the first words with this beauty. Straight out of the box, this pen writes smooth. The flow is superb. I don't know why some people said that it isn't too good for some characters. This pen is for writing and not calligraphy. I can say that you cannot go wrong with this 21k beauty. Glad I made that purchase. My opinion might change in some time if the pen cracks or plays some mischief but as far as writing goes this is as good as it gets. ## Features - Fountain Pen ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0056AEIEI | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #289,425 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #1,263 in Fountain Pens | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | Sailor | | Brand Name | Sailor | | Color | Gold | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 167 Reviews | | Drill Point | Medium | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Included Components | Cap | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Color | Black,Gold | | Item Dimensions | 7.09 x 3.15 x 1.57 inches | | Item Weight | 22.68 g | | Line Size | 0.7 millimeters | | Manufacturer | Sailor | | Material | Resin | | Material Type | Resin | | Model Name | fountain pen | | Model Number | SG_B0056AEIEI_US | | Pattern | single item | | Recommended Uses For Product | Home Improvement | | Style | Gold Medium Point Fountain Pen | | Theme | Elegance | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Writing Instrument Form | Fountain Pen | | Writing Technique | fountain pen | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Sailor - **Color:** Gold - **Ink Color:** Black,Gold - **Material:** Resin ## Images ![Sailor 1911 Large Black Gold Trim 21K Gold Medium Point Fountain Pen - 11-2021-420 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tCY1KOUwL.jpg) ![Sailor 1911 Large Black Gold Trim 21K Gold Medium Point Fountain Pen - 11-2021-420 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61UmLk3GFnL.jpg) ![Sailor 1911 Large Black Gold Trim 21K Gold Medium Point Fountain Pen - 11-2021-420 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ctoF2iE9L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I have some cartridges for Professional Gear fountain pen. Would they fit on this pen?** A: Yes. Sailor uses proprietary ink cartridges and converters, and they work on any of their pens that accepts ink cartridges. **Q: what is converter for?** A: A converter is used for bottled ink. With this Sailor pen you have the option of using Sailor ink cartridges or using a "cartridge converter". The converter fits in the pen where a ink cartridge would otherwise fit and can be filled with bottled fountain pen ink. **Q: Is the Sailor 1911 Fountain pen available with fine Nib ?** A: Yes it is. In fact Sailor offers 7 different nib grinds for this pen. I don’t know if you can find them on Amazon all the time though or if ever. That will depend on the sellers and what they offer. I was only able to find it recently as of Dec. of 2022, in medium grind. But I really liked the price and figured if I want to, in future, I can send it in to what is called a nib meister and have the nib ground to a different size and/or style. So I could, for instance, get a cursive italic grind, or thinned down to a fine. Extra money spent, yes. But still cheaper on a whole, with the price of the pen here and the nib meister’s new grind, than it is to purchase elsewhere. I hope this info helped you and gave a little more insight and info that you may be able to use in future. Take care. Cheers **Q: How large is it compare to a Sailor Realo black fountain pen? Or are they same size?** A: Hi,Yes, the Sailor Realo 1911 Full-Size fountain pen is the same size as the Sailor 1911 Full-Size, both have a length of 5.5" capped and a weight of 23.7 grams.Hope this answers your question.Kind regards,David H. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's not exactly like any other fountain pen *by D***. on March 7, 2019* Precious resin and cheap plastic look and feel a lot alike.

The balance, grip in hand, weight and overall feel is great for small-to-medium hands. I haven't tried Sailor's 14k or steel nibs, but this nib is out of this world, at least for me. I have used Pilot Custom 823, Pelikan M800 and few other good pens who design/develop their nibs in-house, but this pen stands out for me. The writing is good, consistent without any hard-start or skipping, regardless of the ink or paper used. I would highly recommend it to anyone who uses fountain pens on daily basis. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sailor 1911 Large Black Gold Trim 21K Gold Medium Point Fountain Pen - 11-2021-420 - Sailor Fountain Pen Converter, Black - Sailor Fountain Pen Converter (14-0500) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/8178455-sailor-1911-large-black-gold-trim-21k-gold-medium-point](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/8178455-sailor-1911-large-black-gold-trim-21k-gold-medium-point) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
