Sailor Family Photos

[SNAK]

Hey I love seeing everyone's Sailor family portraits!

I haven't taken much pen photos lately but I have dug up these from my older posts elsewhere on FPN. I have to go and gather up the rest of the Sailor family pens and do some photo sessions.

Beautiful family photos, everyone.

 

There's still not a photo of Brian Anderson's collection (or did I miss it).

Beautiful family photos, everyone.

 

There's still not a photo of Brian Anderson's collection (or did I miss it).

 

I took pictures, just need to edit them. Hopefully this week.

Can't wait. This is a right sweet collection Brother Brian keeps close to his heart.

Here's the first grouping, there are two more beyond this. Some very unusual pieces in this lot.

 

1. 1940's vintage, bulb style filler, steel nib
2. Magellan - LE of 150, kind of a blue/purple color
3. Magellan - Jade
4. Magellan Lapis FP
5. Magellan Lapis RB (I have the box for this set - very cool blue felt with curved top)
6. Pro Gear - Ebonite with Rhodium trim (This is the large Pro Gear with bigger cap)
7. Pro Gear Mozaic Brown
8. Pro Gear Mozaic Green
9. Pro Gear KOP - Nagahara LE of 100 with Nobuyoshi Nagahara's signature on the nib in place of the Sailor logo, and his signature on the cap band, Unusual Nib, marked "NAG" but not identifiable as any regular Nagahara nib, more like Naginata-Togi but not marked that way.
10. Pro Gear KOP Sky

Brian, your Sailor pen family is amazing and drool worthy!

I particularly love the look of your Magellan pens and your KoP Mosaic Green.

Brian, such an amazing collection!!

[Barry Gabay]

Thanks for posting these beautiful photos, Brian. What a remarkable collection! I especially like the Fresca and the Slate Blue which is only available at Anderson Pens. To my eye those are the 2 nicest Sailor resin colors. Thanks again. Enjoy your weekend. Best wishes, Barry

That KOP realo is a really special pen. Thanks for sharing, Brian.
