AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A0000006366
Article: SHEAFFER PFM FOUNTAIN PEN (Pen For Men), black body with stainless steel cap polished and a wide gold-plated band, integrated 18K gold nib (inlaid)
Reference / Edition: Sheaffer PFM IV ("Pen For Men"), cap with gold-plated fittings
Length: 13.8 cm
Diameter: 1.3 cm
Nib: F (fine), integrated 18K gold nib / 750 signed SHEAFFER
Period: circa 1959-1968 (PFM series production; unit with 18K nib, European export version)
Materials: Body and grip section in high-gloss black resin/plastic, polished stainless steel cap, cap band gold-plated with the characteristic White Dot, integrated 18-karat gold nib. Snorkel piston-filling system with retractable tube, unique to the PFM model.
Condition: Very good overall preservation for its age. The black body retains intense shine, with no cracks or noticeable bite marks; the cap shows normal wear with fine micro-scratches and some dark speckling visible against light, and the gold band shows slight superficial wear of the plating on the edges. Clip solid and White Dot intact. Nib straight, with no bends or misalignment visible in the photos. The Snorkel filling system operation has not been tested; in pieces of this age it is common for the sac to require inspection/replacement.
Accessories: Only the loose piece; no box, case, papers, or warranty card visible in the photos.
