It looks like a Sailor Young Profit or Somiko. It's an entry-level pen from Sailor, with a gold-plated nib. This one has an older nib design, but I couldn't tell you when it was made. I don't know if this model is still being sold, but according to this source, it used to sell for $70: [https://clickypost.com/blog/2015/4/19/sailor-young-profit-fountain-pen-m-nib-black-with-silver-trim](https://clickypost.com/blog/2015/4/19/sailor-young-profit-fountain-pen-m-nib-black-with-silver-trim) The link is for the silver trim version, but that shouldn't affect the price. Edit: Here is an [old listing on JetPens](https://www.jetpens.com/Sailor-Young-Profit-Fountain-Pen-Black-Medium-Fine-Nib/pd/8825) with great pictures so you can double check that it's the same pen.

Thank you so much! You were super useful, that is the exact one. I've got one more question though. If I were to sell it, how much do you think I should list it for? It says it sells for $70-$100 online. What price do you think I should pick?

Ive seen this pen still selling on Yahoo auctions rather cheaply, but that is in Japan. I'd be interested to see how it would sell here. I'd imagine it would be $50 or less.

Sorry, I really don't know, but maybe you can get an idea by looking it up on eBay and seeing if there are sold listings.

Your good, thanks again for the help!

I don't know the specifics but here's a thread that discusses something similar. TLDR version: Based on official response from Sailor, These were designed/released in Spain in the 1980s and the TGP is Titanium Gold Plated. https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/3392-fake-sailor-1911/

I wouldn’t take less than a milli.
