Product Description
Type Special edition fountain pen
Product Name Asia Series -- "Bamboo"
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer and Royal Selangor Pewter -- 1996 (We believe they had planned to produce a whole series of "Asia" pens, but this plan was canceled when Sheaffer was sold.)
Length 5-3/4"
Filling System Sheaffer cartridges or converters. It comes fitted with a Sheaffer piston converter.
Color Beautiful pewter body and cap with a lovely etched image of bamboo branches and leaves. The clip and cap band and end cap are shiny, most likely stainless steel or chrome.
Nib Sheaffer 18ct 750 (Made in the USA) two tone open nib is marked broad on the section. Smooth with good looking tipping material. Some of the silver colored masking looks a little thin, so it's either due to wear or it was thinly applied.
Condition Near Mint condition. There's some light scratching on the section and some marks on the end piece. Otherwise the pen looks great. It's not meant to be polished often since it's pewter but the clip is still very shiny. In wooden box with booklet. The box is in excellent condition, and there is an outer protective cardboard shell.
