Product Description
Type Vintage fountain pen with a restored filling system
Product Name Sovereign II (part of the Triumph line with a conical #79 Lifetime nib and a white dot). It's often mistaken for the Craftsman, because of the similar wire cap band, but this is a white dot model. The barrel is also imprinted with 875, indicating the original sales price of $8.75.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in USA - circa earlier 1940s
Length 5-1/16" long.
Filling System Lever filler. We replaced the sac and it's working well. Filling system guaranteed for a year from the date of purchase.
Color Black with gold plated trim and a thin wire cap band. White dot above the clip.
Nib FINE two tone 14k Sheaffer Lifetime Triumph style nib marked #79. There are some small scratches and scuffs on the nib's surface, and some of the masking has been polished away near the tip, none of which should affect the pen's writing performance.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks. This is a velvety black, shiny pen in a small and classic design. The barrel has light marks caused by the cap lip and light to moderate scratching. There are some larger scratches near the end of the barrel. The lever has plating wear along the edges but looks good. The cap has light to moderate scratching. The wire cap band has plating wear. The clip has microscratching. The white dot looks great. The imprint is clear.
