Wancher and Sailor have collaborated on a series of Limited Edition demonstrator pens that were sold only in the Japan market. Some have of course made their way to Europe and the Americas via Ebay and third party suppliers, but quite a few sold out quickly and have proved difficult and expensive to get.

Offered here is their 1911L Realo Champagne in brand new factory sealed condition. The pen is a deep green color typical of champagne bottles - hence the name. The pen is a 1911 Large shape in the Realo model, which is piston filled with an ink window, unlike the much more common cartridge converter varieties. The 21K gold Sailor nib is MF.

The pen can be seen on Wancher's web page here, where Google Translate may be of help if you don't read Japanese:

The pen is in brand new never inked condition, still sealed in its original plastic bag. Please excuse my use of two of their website pictures, but I wanted to leave the pen sealed, therefore I could not take it out to take my own pictures of the pen itself without the wrappings.

As you can see from the website, original price was $323 plus shipping. I am selling this very recent acquisition in order to help fund an even bigger more recent pen acquisition. What a sickness, huh?

$310 includes shipping within US.

Shipment outside US may be available at cost, although it has become expensive. Please inquire.

Wow that was quick! Interesting that they include cartridges even with the Piston Filler!

I think it is the standard Sailor packaging into which they inserted the Wancher cards. Some of the Wancher Sailor models are c/c filled, some like this one are piston. They apparently used the same standard packaging for all of them.

That makes sense.

It's taking all my willpower to hold back on this. I want a Realo badly, and have been lusting after this one since I saw it. However, I am saving up for an urushi from Bokumondoh, so I. Must. Resist.

GLWS!

Check Ebay - you won't find these priced below $500!
