Sheaffer - Imperial Touchdown - No reserve price - Fountain pen

A0000005106

The pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing careful use appropriate to its age, preserving an attractive aesthetic and excellent presence in hand.

The black resin body and the gold-plated cap maintain well-defined lines, with light superficial marks typical of normal use, no dents, dings, or deformations. The finish of the gold cap preserves a linear, highly crisp striped pattern and excellent shine.

The integrated nib (Inlaid Nib) made of solid 14-karat gold is in outstanding condition. The hoods are perfectly aligned, the embedded seal in the section is immaculate, and the original iridium tip remains generous and without asymmetric wear, promising the writing smoothness characteristic of Sheaffer nibs. The lower feeder is clean and free of residue.

Factory engravings on the base of the cap, showing the signature "SHEAFFER'S - MADE IN U.S.A.", are in very good condition, remaining perfectly sharp and legible.

Regarding functionality, the Touchdown vacuum filling system has been serviced and delivered in proper working order. The pneumatic tube deploys smoothly and the mechanism generates the proper compression for correct filling of the piece.

The metal elements, which include the iconic short clip of the series with the famous White Dot of Sheaffer, are in very good condition, retaining the original factory tension and firmness.

The black resin grip section shows a deep jet-black color, and the barrel-to-section threads along with the rear section are in optimal condition.

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

Nice auction!
