I had long wanted a Sailor fountain pen with a Zoom nib (the model wasn't very important, but the nib was).
I think I attempted to order one from, oh, three well-known dealers, Amazon included, and each time, I paid for the pen, only to be told it either wasn't in stock or I would be subject to a long wait.
I had also kept an eye on the Classic site, so finally I phoned them. Excellent customer service, talking to people who know and love fountain pens...long story short, I got my 1911-M with gold trim and Zoom nib, and was SO pleased I also ordered a Sapporo with XF nib and rhodium trim, and a Sapporo Mini with rhodium and mighty Music nib!
All pens write great 'outta da box' with ZERO flushing, which is how I always test.
Try them if you need a certain level of attention to your fp needs!
Dohh... Forgot link.
