AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This Sheaffer Triumph Valiant with Touchdown system is in a very solid condition, maintaining the elegance and structural integrity characteristic of this classic model from the early 1950s. The body in 'Cocoa Brown' color features a uniform and well-preserved shine, with no cracks, dents, or visible deformations, only very slight signs of use consistent with its age.

The rear butt — an essential part of the Touchdown system — unscrews and is properly adjusted, with no play, indicating that the internal mechanism remains stable. The central golden ring maintains a clean and sharp appearance, with minimal wear fully consistent with the piece's age.

The cap fits snugly and securely, with no lateral play. The metal clip maintains its original alignment and provides the proper tension, without bends, preserving the sober style characteristic of the Valiant model.

The Triumph 14K nib is one of the highlights of this piece: it is in excellent visual condition, with the wrap-around finish completely intact and without deformations in the nibs. The engravings 'Sheaffer’s – 14K – Canada' remain legible and well-defined. The feed shows proper preservation, with no cracks.

Overall, this is a very well-preserved vintage example, completely original in its visible components and with the Touchdown mechanical system operational. Its classic aesthetic, the impeccable presence of the Triumph nib, and its good overall condition make it an ideal choice for both collection and refined use.

It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.

Good auction!
