Each is made of Carville diffusion bonded acrylic and is a 6 1/16 inches long oversize cartridge / converter pen based on Sailor's top of the line King Profit, also known as King of Pen. The LB5 is ¼ inch longer than the standard King Profit because the barrel is longer. The cap band is a very wide, full to cap lip gold plated insert, engraved with SAILOR LB5 [model name] 00/50 around the entire band. Each color had 50 production pens each with an individual edition number on the band. The standard nib was a medium or broad 21 karat gold Sailor nib marked 1911 over 21K over 875 over the Sailor logo. The edition is sold out. #pencollecting #fountainpen #classicpens #lambroupens #artpen #sailor #sailorpen #sailorjapan #kingofpen #kingprofit #tairiku #kaen #midorigi #kouseki #tensui #tairiku #amethyst #penhero https://www.instagram.com/p/CLp6GjVD9oy/?igshid=hzinsx4xsr04
