1970's Sailor steel body fountain pen with arabesque design

[MYU]

 

I've never seen this fountain pen in person, first hand. I saw it appear on-line only once. It was in a small sale that Stan used to run of vintage fountain pens... and Laura (Phthalo) managed to buy it. Those two embedded photos on the right were lifted from her old blog. I'm curious if anyone here has ever seen one in the wild, or owns one. I've been looking on auction sites for years... and have still yet to spot it.

I like the exposed nib and how the srection is aligned with the barrel. Nice design. Haven't looked for them for several years.

It should be only Sailor pens on Yahoo Japan. Make it easier to find.

Hi Stan, yes it's a nice design with the nib. There's some other models in plain or striped steel that utilize it as well. I have searched on Yahoo Japan for years under the Sailor brand. But of course, just the brand leaves a huge number of results. So I use a more narrow criteria, specifically: (唐草, フローラル, 花, 花のような, ペーズリー, 開花)

 

Never found a hit on this model, though.
