AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This Sheaffer Imperial 444 is presented in a very well-preserved condition, maintaining the industrial elegance characteristic of this classic model. Its body and cap in brushed stainless steel show minimal and uniform surface wear, typical of moderate use, with no dents, dings, or deformations. The matte finish retains its original shine and preserves the distinctive linear texture of the model, demonstrating proper care over time.

The cap fits firmly and securely, and the clip — with its characteristic white dot — remains perfectly aligned, with no looseness or tension marks. The inscriptions 'Sheaffer – Made in U.S.A.' stay sharp and fully legible.

The inlaid nib, the signature of the Imperial line, is in excellent condition. It shows no creases, damage, or abnormal wear. Its surface appears clean, and the engravings are clear, indicating careful handling. The fine tip (F) remains intact and aligned, ready to provide smooth and consistent writing.

The nozzle and the grip zone show no cracks or discoloration, maintaining a uniform appearance. All components fit correctly and no signs of structural deterioration are observed.

Overall, this Sheaffer Imperial 444 is a solid and functional piece, well-preserved and aesthetically attractive, ideal for both collectors and users seeking a durable and characterful fountain pen.

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