Yes I have it on good authority that Sailor will introduce the new filling system on the PG in early 2010 which is great news as I also prefer the two tone nib on that particular model :)

 

I wonder what kind of price bump the piston will put on the PG. I want to tell this pen "you are a SAILOR, not a PELIKAN - stop fooling around with pistons - it's all about the NIBS!!"

 

I hope they keep a cheaper PG line with converters.

I'd hit that. The 1911 Realo is a little bit too Montblanc for me - the PG feels more original.

Yes: Sailor Profit Realo

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value.--Thomas Paine, "The American Crisis", 1776

I got a reply from Art Brown confirming that the capacity is 1 ml.

I went to Art Brown and saw the Realo. I was not impressed. It is definitely a well made pen but he low ink capacity and light weight/feel in hand left me unimpressed. {I like a heavier pen and add a Pilot VP metal cartridge cap and a small piece of brass rod to add weight to my sailor pro-gears and 1911's} Not worth the price to me. Plus just a personal thing-- I have felt with sailors lately that when drawing the nibs are TOO SMOOTH!! I feel disconnected from the paper. Just me. Oh Well.

 

That being said Art Brown is a fantastic store and seeing Mr Nagahara work was worth the trip--and trying a emperor nib was great. Mrs. Brown has sold me many a fountain pen and one of my first piston-fillers so I have a soft spot for such a great lady. The store is a NY treasure and should not be missed by any pen-heads visiting NYC.

That's below the Japanese list, isn't it?

Japanese list is 31,500円 ($347US), so on current exchange rates, $309US is a pretty good price. Mind you, the Yen is doing funny things at the moment because no-one is quite sure what the Hatoyama government is going to do, economically.

I wasn't impressed by the pics in Shumi no Bungubako. The piston mechanism looked, well, a little cheap for how much the pen cost.

 

Hi,

 

I am curious how you managed to get copies of the Shumi no Bungubako. Are they available in Singapore? Kindly enlighten me. Thanks!

I just met Mrs Brown last week when I visited NYC. Its like an institution. I bought two pens from her.

 

Such a nice lady!

Hi,

 

House of Pens comments that "the shipment was delayed. Now, it is finally available at the local retailer in Singapore".

 

And, there's one up on eBay, item # 180409757645, with the bidding at $260.

 

Regards,

Andy

Hello,

 

do you know if the box contains the fountain pen and a ink grey botlle or only the fountain pen?

 

Thank's,

 

I heard that only limited number of Sailor Profit Realo comes with the ink bottle. The rest will just come with the normal packaging. :)

Other pens available for sale:

 

Pelikan : Keep a watchout here, M805 FPs, M400 and M405 FPs,
