Product Description
Type Vintage Touchdown fountain pen
Product Name Sheaffer Admiral
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, USA -- 1950-2
Length 5-1/8"
Filling System Touchdown filler. We've replaced the sac and the O-ring. It's fully restored and working very well.
Color Solid "Persian" blue cap and barrel with a 1/8" cap band and an amber viewing window. The trim is gold plated.
Nib MEDIUM 14k Feather Touch #5 nib is two-toned, fairly firm, and smooth with nice tipping material. The silver colored masking is platinum.
Condition Very nice condition with a nice nib. The pen has handwear and microscratching on the cap and barrel, particularly on the lower barrel near the filler end. There are a few small nicks or possibly bite marks on the barrel. There's a bulge in the shape of the cap where the plastic has contracted around the inner cap, but the cap still screws on well without binding. The trim and clip are nice with just a little microscratching on the clip. The imprint is clear. The pen is fully restored and working well.
