Product Description
Type Fountain pen
Product Name Triumph 1250
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, USA - this model went into production in about 1942.
Length 5-3/16"
Filling System Vac-fil system. We've fully restored it and it's working well.
Color Green striated with gold plated trim. The band is barely under 7/8" wide.
Nib MEDIUM Lifetime Triumph nib is 14k, smooth, and very firm. It's got nice tipping remaining.
Condition Very nice condition. There are a few tiny indents in the barrel, some very light scratching. There's a small cluster of stress cracks at the very top of the cap, which is common for these striated patterns. There's a short crack in the plastic collar of the section where it overlaps the base of the nib (sort of visible in the first photo), but this does not leak or affect the pen's functionality at all, and they are not very noticeable either. There's just a small crescent of plating wear at the end of the ball of the clip (see photos), but otherwise just a tiny bit of microscratching on the trim. The imprint is still quite clear, the barrel clarity is very good, and there are no chips or personalization. It's fully restored and working well.
