Product Description
Type Fountain pen and pencil set
Product Name Triumph was Sheaffer's product name for this upscale gold filled model. This is the snorkel version of fountain pen.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, USA, 1952-9
Length The pen is 5-9/16"; the pencil is 5".
Filling System The pen is a snorkel filler which we have restored with a new O-ring, sac, and point gasket. The pencil takes 0.9mm leads.
Color Gold filled barrel and cap.
Nib MEDIUM 14k Triumph conical nib is smooth with nice tipping. It's marked M5 on the back side of the nib, but it's closer to fine by modern standards.
Condition Excellent + condition. The fountain pen looks great, with no dents, dings, or plating wear. There is microscratching and polishing marks on the cap and barrel, though no large scratches.The cap threads are in great shape, with no plating wear or corrosion. The white dot is slightly yellowed, but otherwise perfect. The mechanical pencil has light scratching all over, and there is a tiny dent in the very top of the cap. Otherwise, it is a lovely match for the pen, and makes for a very nice set. Both pieces are working very well and the pen was fully restored by us.
