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".

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.
