Hi guys.
A few months ago I sent the cap from my Sailor 1911 off for repairs in Sweden, and today I received the cap again.
The reason it took so long, was that the cap had to be sent off to Japan to have the clip replaced.
Normally the pen sports a blank, no-frills clip, now it has been replaced with a nice "grooved" one.
And I am totally chuffed, because I love this pen.
It writes like a dream, it looks great, and it was cheap.
I found it in a box with used ballpoint pens at a flea market, and I only had to pay 10 dkk for it. :jaw:
According to user Titan at FPN, who wrote and asked the Sailor Pen Company, it is an old model called "Profit", which was an affordable Sailor 1911.
Production began in Dec. 1989, and continued for two years.
The pen was sold in Spain and Italy only, so how it ended up here in Denmark is a bit of a mystery.
Maybe some danish businessman bought one sometime and brought it home, I don't know.
But anyway, my baby is home, and I'm happy. :)
