Product Description

Product Name Sheaffer Grand Connaisseur, Model 820, this model was initially made in the UK but was later produced in the UK and the USA. (This is definitely the "Grand" version as it weighs 1.3 ounces, and the regular black Connaisseurs weigh .8 ounces. It has the larger nib seen on the Grand models.)

Filling System Takes Sheaffer-style cartridges and converters. A Sheaffer piston converter is installed.
Color Black lacquer over brass with 23k electroplated trim. It has the white dot above the clip and a ball ended clip.
Nib Fine 18k two-toned nib, marked on the back of the section. This is the correct Grande nib with a 1920 imprint and some palladium masking.
Condition Excellent + condition. The barrel has some minor handwear, but no serious scratches or scrapes. No bite marks or dents. The imprints look great. We often see these with wear on the nib collar, but this one looks great, with no plating wear or corrosion.
