Product Description
Type Fountain pen, lever fill
Product Name Admiral, the lever filling version.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer USA, 1950-52
Length 5-1/16"
Filling System Lever filler, we've replaced the sac and it's working great!
Color Persian Blue body and cap with gold plated trim.
Nib MEDIUM two tone #5 Feather Touch nib is marked 14k. It's on the finer side of medium, with some sem-flexibility to it. With a little pressure the line varies from medium to a nice broad. It was a two-tone nib, the upper half masked, but most of the masking has worn off (see photos).
Condition Excellent condition with some hand wear on the cap and barrel, and some slight discoloration and staining on the barrel. There's just a tiny bit of plating wear on the edges of the lever, and minor micro scratching. The edges of the threads on the barrel area are a little rough to the touch, but this does not affect the cap's ability to screw on. No cracks or chips. It's quite an attractive pen, despite the wear. Fully restored and working well.
