Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this very rare 2005 Sailor Maki-e Limited Edition #2 of 10 "KOI" Fountain Pen fitted with a 21K Medium Gold Nib. This Fountain Pen comes with the original King of Pen box. This fountain pen Maki-e Artwork is completed by Master Urushi Lacquer artist, Koushu Nishihara.

This Sailor Limited Edition Fountain Pen was limited to only 10 pieces worldwide, this is #2. The fountain pen artwork is displayed on a Sailor Ebonite King of Pen. The cap and barrel are in perfect condition with no cracks, nicks, scratches, or repairs. The cap is always securing tightly to the barrel via a "screw-on/threaded" type. The upper end of the barrel is signed with Nishihara's signature and Limited Edition number 2/10. The cap and barrel display beautiful maki-e artwork of Koi fish with lily pads. The fountain pen measures 6 1/8" inches in length capped, and 6 11/16" inches posted. 

The Nib is a 21K gold and marked, "1911, Sailor Anchor logo, 21K, 875, Sailor". Stamped on the shoulder of the NIB is the letter, "M" for a Medium nib point. The actual tipping measures .74mm when measured with digital calipers. The nib has some plating wear. The pen has been inked and used and seen polishing of the nib which has worn away some of the platinum masking on the nib. It does not hurt the performance of the nib - the nib writes with a smooth Medium to Double Broad line that measures from .67mm to 1.41mm when measured with digital calipers.

The Sailor uses an ink converter to fill the pen. I have tested it with water and it works as it was designed.  

This Sailor comes with the original King of Pen wooden box and all the Sailor Literature,  and the ink bottle that you see in the first image. 

The Sailor KOP Koi Fountain Pen is, without a doubt, a beautiful piece of artwork. The gorgeous Ebonite material with Nishihara's artwork makes this a grand statement piece of artwork. This is a rare example with only 10 being made worldwide by Nishihara. Don't miss out on this extremely rare, limited edition Sailor KOP Maki-e Koi Fountain Pen.
