Unique Commissioned Sailor Pro Gear Maki-e & Raden fountain pen

[Vintage-Nibs]

This pen is so rare that this might be the only one that you will ever see. This pen was commissioned by the Japanese Government for WW2 veterans. They were never commercially sold. The cap originally had no symbol on the cap but previous owner had it returned to the Sailor factory to have the anchor installed on the cap, a rather tasteful enhancement in my opinion. It is a combination of urushi, raden and Maki-e. There is a King of Pen model that is like this but I do believe that is resin based and the raden is certainly not as plentiful and there are gold leaves along the lanes of raden. Does NOT come with box or papers.

The 21K gold nib is smooth and moderately flexible. It is a wonder to write with.

The Japanese really know how to create a functional work of art. I think I'd be afraid to use the thing. Good luck with your sale!
