 We just got the Sailor 1911 Pin of the Year 2023 pens in. It's the golden olive fountain pen and Sailor designed this pen to celebrate longer days full of courage and hope that are quietly replacing the dreary dark days of winter Although if you love winter, that's cool, too. Underneath your false bottom you're gonna find your ink cartridges. It comes with two Sailor ink cartridges and a Sailor converter because and that's important to know where to find those because this is a proprietary pen. All your Sailors are going to be proprietary, which means you have to use Sailor converters and Sailor ink cartridges to ink your pens. Your golden olive comes in two sizes. It comes in the 1911 standard and the 1911 large and we're gonna look at them both here so you can see them both side by side. We opened the large first. So now let's pull out the 1911 standard size pen of the year for 2023. I love the golden olive It's really a pretty color and I really like that. It's not even just a solid golden olive. It's that golden bit is referencing like a little sparkly aspect of this material and we'll take a closer look at it here in a minute, but here first let's look at the sizing. These are the two sizes, the standard and the large side by side. It's not a huge difference, but it's noticeable when you're writing and when you're holding the pen and another big difference between these two is the nib that it's fitted with. The large is gonna have the popular Sailor's 21 karat gold nib and the standard size 1911's have the 14 karat gold nib. So basically the difference between the two pens is the nib it's fitted with and then the slight differences in the width of the barrel and the length of the pen. Both the pens are cartridge converters that are proprietary to Sailor products and both of them are postable. It's the Sailor 1911 pen design that most of you are familiar with. So it has the spring metal clip and that classic silhouette, a threaded cap, and your 1911 Pen of the Year 2023 golden olive fountain pens are paired with gold-plated trim.
