Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, USA -- 1952-5
Length The pen is 5-5/8" and the pencil measures 5-1/16".
Filling System Snorkel filling system ... restored here at PSP. We replaced the sac, O-ring and point gasket and thoroughly tested the pen. We'll send instructions on how to use the filling system. The pencil takes 0.9mm leads and extends and retracts via the traditional twist method.
Color Pastel Blue or "Aqua" pen and pencils with with gold filled trim. Both have cap bands though the fountain pen one is fancier with some etched lines, so we think the pencil probably came with a different model pen.
Nib Extra Fine palladium silver triumph nib. It is labeled X6 Palladium Silver. The X means it is extra fine and the 6 means it is a PdAg triumph nib that goes on Sheaffer Specials.
Condition Excellent + used condition. The pen has an original sticker on the section and the plastic looks perfect. The imprints are clear. There's some plating wear on the top of the cap band on the fountain pen. No scratches, dents, chips, or cracks. They ship in a Sheaffer's New Snorkel Pen box.
