Product Description
Type Vintage vacuum-filling fountain pen and mechanical pencil set, in original box
Product Name Triumph Sentinel Deluxe ... the first version from 1947 with the brushed metal cap. The Penhero website has a nice write-up of this exact same model.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, USA - introduced in 1947.
Length Fountain pen is 5-3/16", pencil is 5"
Filling System Vac-fil (aka wire or piston) filler. It has been restored here at Peyton Street Pens, and we'll guarantee the filling system for a period of one year from the purchase date. The pencil takes 0.9mm leads, which extend and retract by twisting the top half of the pencil.
Color Green striated with brushed metal cap and gold filled trim. White Dot at the apex of the blind cap.
Nib FINE two-toned 14k Triumph conical nib.
Condition Excellent + condition in box. There is microscratching and handwear on both pieces. Fountain pen: the cap looks really good, no dents or dings. The side edges of the clip have plating wear, and the open end of the clip has brassing. The cap threads have some plating wear. The barrel has moderate scratching. Barrel clarity is excellent. Mechanical pencil: No dents or dings on the cap. The sides of the clip have some plating wear, and there is brassing on the upper surface. The nose cone has some tiny dots of pitting, but otherwise looks great. The barrel has a line of tiny pits on the surface, extending nearly the whole length, which we see fairly often on these striated celluloids. (We attribute them to a remnant of the striated celluloid manufacturing process. They are shallow, and almost look like a line of bubbles in the material; they do not affect the performance or integrity of the pencil.) The box looks great. The outer surface is mostly smooth with no rips or tears. The inner lining has some small stains.
