Filling System Sheaffer (standard, modern) cartridges are required, we tried a number of Sheaffer converters and they would not fit. We will ship the pen with a cartridge.
Color The pattern is "tweed". This is gold on silver cut in a pattern of curvy lines. Mandarin red section makes a strong contrast to the cap and barrel.
Nib MEDIUM steel nib is marked Sheaffer made in USA. It is a short Triumph style nib.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks. This is a sleek, shiny, bullet shaped pen that makes an impression. The metal part of the barrel has some light wear near the section and, as well, a few tiny dots of chipping toward the end of the barrel. Otherwise, the barrel has only light scratching. The cap has a tad of chipping on the cap lip and some plating wear along the edges of three of the wavy lines that starts at the cap lip. Otherwise, it just has some microscratching. The section looks great. The imprints are clear.
