Product Name Valiant Snorkel fountain pen.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in USA - 1952-59.

Filling System Snorkel filling pen. We've restored it with a new sac, point gasket and o-ring, and we'll send instructions on how to use this filling system.
Color Peacock blue with gold plated trim, a 3/8-inch wide cap band, and a white dot above the clip. Peacock is one of the hard-to-find colors considered highly collectible.
Nib MEDIUM two-tone Triumph 14k nib, marked M5 on the back. It's smooth and firm with excellent tipping material. The masking is in lovely condition with no wear apparent.
Condition Excellent condition. We restored the pen with a new sac, new o-ring, new gasket, and have cleaned and tested it; it works perfectly. No cracks or chips, dings, dents, or personalization. The cap band has small scattered dots of pitting but is overall in good shape. The section threads also have some small spots of plating wear. The clip has some brassing at the very top. There are small nicks on the pen's white dot and it is not perfectly symmetrical. The imprints are a bit worn, but still easily readable.
