NOTE this is the STANDARD FULL SIZE PEN (NOT THE OVERSIZE) and it measures 5 3/8" in the capped position.
This pen has been disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and tested.
The pen's vac-fill system works smoothly and fills with ink as designed with a new piston washer and packing assembly. I drilled out the old packing assembly and replaced it with a new packing gasket and closure washer ala David Nishimura's instructions for an airtight fit.
The body has excellent transparency so you can see exactly how much ink is in the pen.
The 14K GOLD nib of the pen is FINE in size and states "Sheaffers, Feather Touch, Made in USA, 5 ".
The imprint on the pen states "W.A. Sheaffer Pen Co, Fort Madison Iowa USA, Made in USA".
Also note the original owner's name is imprinted
If you have any questions, please ask--I will respond quickly. Good Luck!
About tbickiii's Vintage Fountain Pens:
Based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I have been collecting and restoring fountain pens since 1999. In order to enable my collecting "habit", I sell restored vintage fountain pens and the occasional modern pen here on ebay. I do all of the restoration work myself and stand behind my work. I enjoy restoring these vintage pens and sending them on to someone to use and enjoy.
I list all my pens on SUNDAY NIGHT, so please check in and see what I have to offer.
I typically list Parker, Sheaffer, and Wahl Eversharp every week, with the occasional Waterman and Pelikan.
Also, you can sign up for my NEWSLETTER above to get weekly e-mail notifications of the pens I have listed.
