Description from the seller
1996 SHEAFFER PFM Pen For Men LEGACY Touchdown Black-Excellent Conditions!!
The history of fountain pen: Sheaffer Pen For Men LEGACY Touchdown with glossy jet-black cap and body.
In the 1990s, Sheaffer brought back the iconic "PFM" silhouette by launching the Legacy series. The Legacy I was built using the same oversized, chunky proportions as the 1950s PFM.
Touchdown / Converter System (No Snorkel):
Unlike the vintage PFM, which relied exclusively on the Snorkel mechanism, the Legacy I was designed with a modern Touchdown system. It operates by pulling the rear metal tube, but inside it houses a special gold-toned converter/cartridge mechanism rather than the delicate Snorkel tube.
The Gold Internal Cylinder:
The disassembly photo clearly shows the gold-colored removable Touchdown converter typical of the Legacy I. Vintage PFMs do not feature a removable gold sleeve with that specific rear threading.
Nib & Trim:
It features the signature inlaid nib in solid gold (14K or 18K depending on the batch) and the clip with the iconic White Dot.
In Summary:
a Sheaffer Legacy I (Black Lacquer with Gold Trim) from the 1990s is the official modern re-edition of the PFM III: it retains the exact same bold shape and dimensions of the vintage PFM, but is upgraded with a practical Touchdown/converter system instead of the high-maintenance Snorkel tube.
It is a fantastic fountain pen, highly sought after by collectors and much more practical for daily writing than the 1950s original.
the pen is huge and it’s a real pleasure to write with.
featuring the famous Touchdown filling system.
