The genius of Sheaffer is evident in its Sheaffer Balance pens. Modern, streamlined, simple to use and yet enduring craftsmanship that has a 90-year-old pen working as good as new! Our oversized vintage pen is nearly perfect. No cracks, scratches or brassing. You have to feel its only imperfection, which is a slight bulge around the inner-ring that serves as a hinge for the lever. Fully restored with a new ink sac, this pen is both ready for use or a museum display. Its two-tone 14k gold nib is perfect and only slightly rare side of life. You will write a smooth, firm extra-fine line with it, feeling perfect contact with the paper. The ink-viewing window in the section is darkly ambered but perfectly fine. 14.2cm capped.
