Sheaffer - Snorkel Sentinel - Fountain pen

Item: SHEAFFER FOUNTAIN PEN, black resin body with stainless steel cap engraved with vertical lines, clip and ring gold-plated and White Dot.
Reference / Edition: Snorkel Sentinel.
Length: 14.1 cm.
Diameter: 1 cm.
Nib: F.
Period: 1950s (Snorkel series, 1952-1959).
Materials: Polished black resin on the body and section, stainless steel cap, clip and closure ring gold-plated, Triumph 14k two-tone gold nib with platinum mask and Snorkel pneumatic filling via the rear section.
Condition: Good overall. The black resin body retains very good shine and there are no cracks or bite marks; the steel cap shows micro-scratches and signs of use typical of its age, and the gold ring shows slight wear of the finish. The nib is straight and well aligned, with the platinum mask intact. At the base of the section there is a light patina from use. The filling mechanism has not been tested: as with all pieces in this series, the sacs and internal seals typically require servicing by a professional, so it is sold as-is.
Accessories: Only the loose piece; no box or papers are visible in the photos.
