Product Description
Type Fountain Pen with inlaid nib and cartridge/converter filling system
Product Name Legacy 1 - this is from the first Legacy series, which had squared ends. Model 838.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer USA, 1996 - 1999
Length 5-1/2"
Filling System Touchdown filling system. This version requires two downstrokes to fill the ink sac. You can also use Sheaffer cartridges or the squeeze converter on its own. The pen would have originally had one of the gold colored touchdown inserts, but those frequently fail and we have replaced it with a squeeze converter, which allows it to operate as a touchdown as well as a simple converter filled pen.
Color Green lacque body and gold plated cap with 23k gold plated trim and clip.
Nib Right-foot Oblique Sheaffer 18ct 750 inlaid nib. See our writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition in box. Light handwear. There are a couple of marks on the blind cap, but otherwise the pen looks nice. Some light scratches on the cap that are perpendicular to the brushed finish, but it's largely a smooth surface. Some polishing marks on the lower shiny cap band. The White Dot is perfect.
In Sheaffer box.
