I love this pen. It's one of those rare modern pens that captivated my attention as both a functional and beautiful fountain pen.
So why selling it? I need the fund, household stuff.

Included: Original Sailor box, both the white cardboard and the fancy blue one with ink cartridge (unused) and manual inside. The pen itself has a Sailor converter inside which works wonderfully.
Nib: I grind it from H-B (smooth but boring round tip) to a Stub, retaining both tipping materials and smoothness. As a bonus, when you write with this pen with the nib upside down, you get another nib, an Italic M which is quite lovely. I discovered this by accident, and went ahead and smooth the top of the nib so you can write it this way also.
Cosmetics: Excellent. One hairline crack on the cap lip. Not easy to spot unless you're looking for it. At writing distance, you can't see it. See this photo below.
