Description from the seller
A0000004770
The pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing careful use consistent with its category.
The black lacquer body preserves excellent gloss and uniformity, with extremely fine superficial micro marks typical of normal use that do not affect its aesthetics or presence. The cap and the palladium-finished metal parts maintain a high level of polish, showing only light signs of handling visible under direct light.
The clip, with the distinctive White Dot of Sheaffer, is perfectly firm, aligned, and functional, preserving its original tension. The engravings on the ring remain defined and legible.
The capillary closure system with a push-cap closes correctly, offering a secure and precise fit with no play. The nib is in good condition and the writing system has been checked, ensuring its proper operation.
No knocks, cracks, or structural damage are observed, which confirms a remarkable state of conservation within its segment.
Conservation recommendations:
Use high-quality, Sheaffer-compatible refills to ensure optimal performance. Avoid drops or impacts that could affect the internal mechanism. Clean the exterior regularly with a soft cloth to maintain the finish’s shine. Store in a dry place, away from direct light and extreme temperatures. Operate the twist mechanism gently to preserve its precision.
