Product Name Nostalgia - model No. 803
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, USA -- they started producing this model in 1992
Length 5-1/4"
Filling System Takes Sheaffer cartridges or converters. A new squeeze converter is installed.
Color Vermeil (gold plate over sterling silver) in an etched floral pattern with a black plastic upper barrel and section. There is a cartouche on the cap for personalization.
Nib EXTRA-FINE 18k Sheaffer two tone nib is smooth with nice tipping, and feels fairly firm. The section is labeled X. This indicates that these are not the original nib and section.
Condition New old stock, and in excellent condition aside from a few tiny marks picked up in storage. There are a few very light scratches on the cap that seem to have been caused by polishing, but no real wear. The plating seems thin as a small amount has been removed from the ball end of the clip. No dents or dings, cracks or chips, or personalization. It's working very well. Original Nostalgia packaging is included. Some included pieces are the paperwork with sticker (meant for the same pen with a different nib), pen sticker, price tag (not photographed), and polishing cloth material sleeve.
