Description from the seller

This elegant Sheaffer Imperial in gold presents itself in very good overall condition, fully preserving the distinctive character of this iconic model. The body and cap, both with a gold metal finish and vertical engraving, maintain a uniform and attractive shine, with no significant loss of gold plating. Only slight surface marks are observed, typical of normal use and consistent with a piece from its era, but without affecting the overall aesthetics or its structural integrity.

The golden clip, topped with the iconic White Dot, retains its original alignment and firmness, with no looseness or deformations. The cap closure functions correctly, fitting smoothly and securely to the body of the pen.

In the writing section, the 14K Inlaid Nib, one of the most valued elements of the Imperial series, is in excellent condition: no bends, no tip wear, and the engravings '14K – Made in U.S.A.' are fully defined. The feed shows moderate use, with no visible residues of active ink, and the insertion zone maintains a good fit.

The black section shows normal signs of use, but no cracks or structural damage. Overall, the pen maintains an elegant, sober, and very well cared for appearance.

This Sheaffer Imperial stands out for its solid preservation, impeccable functionality, and timeless gold design, making it an excellent opportunity for both collectors and users seeking a historic piece with exceptional writing performance.

It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.

Good auction!
