Does this Sailor go by any other name such as Sailor 1911 Profit (Large)? Having trouble finding just the Sailor 1911 (Large) listed in the Ebay Store Engeika but they do list the Sailor 1911 Profit (Large), are these the same? Thanks...

IIRC, "Profit" is the name the pen is more frequently marketed under in Japan, and 1911 is more common in North America &c. Same pen, though.

Thanks Doc...
Profit is the pen you are looking for...
... but those droids, not do much. btw Engiekas website prices are usually lower then his BINs on ebay

thanks for posting this question...i've been wondering about this myself.
More profit in the BINs, I guess.
I think he adds to cover fees that he doesn't get on his site
Really? If I type in "Sailor 1911 Large" I get a number of results. Don't use the () when searching.

Really.... Go to the engeika.com website, type in Sailor 1911 Large and what comes up is Sailor 1911 Profit Large among other various hits that are somehow relevant to my search criteria. My question in my original post was, are they one of the same and various members chimed in to inform me, yes they are. Also, I did not use the brackets in my search, only in my post.
Not sure when the word Profit was first used or why it went away. If you go to the Sailor web page nowhere does it mention "Profit". Here is there description of the two 1911s Large and Standard

Outside of Japan, the cigar shape pen was named "1911". In Japan, it is know as "Profit".
There are two sizes : Standard and Large.
The best way to get the pen you want is to use the serial number.
11-1xxx = 17 mm/standard
11-2xxx = 18 mm/large
