Sheaffer - Intrigue - Fountain pen

Magnificent Sheaffer Intrigue set consisting of fountain pen and matching ballpoint, kept in excellent overall condition. The chrome and gunmetal metallic finish maintains a deep, uniform shine, with only light signs of superficial use typical of careful preservation and the passage of time, with no major dents or structural deformities.

The fountain pen retains one of the collection’s most emblematic elements: its spectacular inlaid nib in white gold 14K / 585, made in the USA, size M (Medium). The nib is clean, correctly aligned, and operational, also offering the aerodynamic and futuristic aesthetic characteristic of the Intrigue series.

The original Sheaffer filling system remains complete and functional. This model incorporates the well-known “captive converter” system, an integrated converter built into the pen body, developed specifically for the Intrigue line. Unlike traditional detachable converters, the mechanism is permanently integrated inside the fountain pen, preserving the clean and continuous aesthetic of the design.

Operation of the system is achieved by partially unscrewing the rear cap, leaving a small internal metal knob visible that actuates the converter piston. When turned with the nib immersed in ink, the system draws the fill into the internal reservoir. It is a sophisticated and unusual technical solution, highly valued today by collectors and Sheaffer enthusiasts for its manufacturing complexity and mechanical uniqueness.

The matching ballpoint maintains excellent aesthetic presence and proper function of its twist mechanism.

The set conveys great solidity, balanced weight, and a level of manufacturing quality typical of Sheaffer’s latest major productions in Fort Madison, Iowa.

This is a collection especially valued for its contemporary design, sculptural lines, and modern reinterpretation of the legendary embedded Sheaffer nib, becoming one of the most distinctive series from the early 2000s.

Care recommendations:
Use high-quality fountain pen inks and avoid pigmented inks. Clean with lukewarm water if not used for a period. Dry completely before storage. Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Operate the filling system gently.

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