Product Description
Type fountain pen
Product Name Fashion II (the Fashion I pens were much thinner and couldn't fit the standard Sheaffer converters.) Model 283.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer USA -- 1990s
Length 5-3/8"
Filling System Takes Sheaffer-style cartridges or converters. A Sheaffer squeeze converter is installed.
Color Red and black lacquer in a tartan pattern with gold plated trim. The contrast between the red and black is well done.
Nib Medium gold plated nib. It's a smooth nib with good tipping material. The section is labeled with a semi-worn M and the sticker on the cap also identifies the nib as a medium. There are early signs of plating wear on the underside of the nib and around the slit.
Condition Near Mint condition. While the pen has definitely been used, as shown through ink residue, nib wear, and handwear on the section, it looks great. It has no scratches, dents, or plating wear. The original sticker on the cap is in perfect condition.
