1911 King of Pens Yellow Mandarin fountain pen by Sailor

1911 King of Pens Yellow Mandarin fountain pen by Sailor – a traditional model for an incredible writing

Apart from the fact that the 1911 King of Pens Yellow Mandarin is a limited edition, the famous yellow colour, which is so popular with collectors, is associated with a whole series of symbols.

In Asia, it represents the sun and its life force. It is also the centre of the universe and the transition between seasons. In China, the colour is synonymous with prosperity, glory and happiness; in Japan, it represents strength and courage. When Mandarin is associated with the colour, it symbolises the powerful, literate and influential personality.

In a more prosaic sense, this pen is a true marvel as the yellow colour illuminates the object. All of its attributes are rhodium-plated, including the superb central ring. The attentive observer will discover the brand name engraved on it, followed by the year of its creation, as well as the inscription in capital letters “THE KING OF PEN”.

Its nib:

The size of the rhodium-plated 21-carat gold nib embodies the power of these symbols. It is imposing both in terms of its length, measuring 26 mm, and its width, which exceeds one centimetre (11 mm). It is available in sizes M and B.

The KOP Yellow Mandarin comes in a beautiful black box with a dark navy blue interior. The future owner of this superb pen will find in this box, in addition to two cartridges, a gold-plated converter as well as a wipe with the brand emblem.
