Description from the seller

Lot Description
General Description:
Exclusive vintage fountain pen from the renowned American brand Sheaffer, manufactured in the United States. This is a classic model, highly valued by collectors due to its timeless design and the recognized performance of its writing. The body and cap feature a classic ribbed pattern with a high-quality gold electroplated finish (Gold Electroplated). The cap rim clearly bears the brand's official authenticity engravings: the stylized crown badge, followed by "SHEAFFER U.S.A.". The major technical and value differentiator of this piece lies in its embedded nib in solid 14-karat gold (purity 585). Unlike the body, the nib is not merely gold-plated but made of real 14K gold, and is engraved with "SHEAFFER - U.S.A. - 585 - 14K".
Technical Specifications:
Brand: Sheaffer
Origin: United States (U.S.A.)
Nib Material: Solid 14K Gold / 585 Purity (Guaranteed)
Nib Design: Aerodynamic Inlaid Nib
Body Finish: Gold Electroplated with striped/ribbed pattern
Identifiers: Sheaffer Crown Logo engraved on the base of the cap
Filling System: Cartridge or Sheaffer converter.
Condition:
Nib: In excellent condition, no deformations, maintaining the original geometry and tip perfectly aligned.
Body and Cap: Presents a uniform golden shine, with some small scratches typical of age and normal use, clearly visible in the close-up photographs. No dents or major flaws in the galvanization.
Operation: The push-down cap closure works perfectly, ensuring a firm and secure fit.
Note to bidders: Macro photographs are an integral and essential part of the lot description. Please analyze them carefully to verify the aesthetic details before submitting your bid.
