Hello, up for grabs are a few Sailor pens. I go by the name 25_15_3 on Reddit and fpn. I go by dank on fpgeeks. The verification image is at the bottom of this listing.

Up for grabs is a lovely Sailor KOP (resin) in a medium nib.
Nib was tuned by Dan "nibsmith" Smith.
Lovely writer - my best writer. I just just find the pen to be a bit large for my tastes after a long back-and-forth deliberation.
Lightly used at home for a bit more than a month. (not including time spent for tuning)
No deep scratches or anything of the sort. Minor microscratches as per user use.
Minor brassing - not sure of the term - on the cap band. Example as shown in the picture provided. There are more minor spots of it on the cap band than shown in the picture.
The red ink (Sailor Oku Yama) is the writing sample of the KOP.
Asking for $SOLD shipped US with insurance. Comes with the brown Sailor box original to the pen, Japanese paperwork, 12 Sailor red cartridges, and a Sailor converter.
Shipping via USPS priority small flat rate box.
Payment via Paypal invoice.
Buy as is. Please ask any questions for clarifications.

The Sailor Lifetime Pen is of the older Sailor aesthetic - even without the 1911 mention on the nib.
The dimensions of the pen are close to the modern Sailor 1911 mid-size. I do not have a Sailor 1911 mid-size currently, but I compared it when I did have it.
The cap band writes THE SAILOR "LIFE TIME PEN" MADE IN JAPAN.
Standard wear on the pen. Microscratches consistent with use from standard use. Most noticable wear is the minor mark on the end of the barrel corrsponding with posting the cap. Please look at the photos for a better look.
No pitting on the gold section band.
There is no nib size marking. I was notified by the original owner that it is a medium nib. Look at the writing sample comparison between my Sailor KOP in medium and the Sailor Lifetime pen.
It is a 14k nib with pleasant feedback. The pen was tuned by Dan "Nibsmith" Smith.
The Sailor Lifetime pen nib is the furthest left in the nib comparison. (L-R Lifetime pen, 1911 large, KOP) Writing sample is between this pen and my KOP in medium.
Asking $SOLD shipped US. The pen will come with a Sailor converter, pack of 12 Sailor red cartridges, and a modern Sailor blue pen box (not original to this pen).
Shipping via USPS priority small flat rate box.
Payment via Paypal invoice.
Buy the pen as is. Please ask any questions for clarifications.

Sailor Gathered (Ribbed) is of the older Sailor aesthetic. This does come with the 1911 logo on the nib.
The dimensions of the pen are larger than the Sailor Lifetime Pen, so I'd imagine the size to be comparable to the modern Sailor 1911 full-size.
The cap band writes SAILOR JAPAN PROFIT 21k.
Standard wear on the pen. Microscratches consistent with use from prior owner.
Minor pitting on the gold section band - 2 black dots.
There is a H-MF nib marking.
It is a 21k nib that writes broader size strokes than downstrokes. This pen may need some tuning to reach the full potential of the pen. The pen does write just alright without tuning, but could be better I suppose - not as good as my tuned KOP.
Writing sample is written with Pilot Shin-kai on HP 32lb paper.
Asking $200 shipped US. The pen will come with a Sailor converter and a pack of 12 Sailor red cartridges.
Shipping via USPS priority small flat rate box.
Payment via Paypal invoice.
Buy the pen as is. Please ask any questions for clarifications.
