Filling System Takes standard Sheaffer cartridges. No converter is included. We tested it with four different Sheaffer converters and none fit. That's the weird and frustrating thing about these Lady Sheaffers ... some accept converters and some don't. We will include a few cartridges. Filling system guaranteed for a year from the date of purchase.
Color The body is silver enamel in a brocade pattern, there are two small gold filigree bands, one on either side of the larger decorative band of rhinestones. The section is black.
Nib FINE short triumph style nib. Gold plated, with a notable "Waverly" upturn.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks or chips. This is a unique, beautiful, and shiny pen that has an exquisite cap band and an elegant sensibility. The cap and barrel appear to be perfect. It would be very difficult to see scratches because of the textured surface. There do not appear to be any. The gold brocade surrounding the raised jeweled band look beautiful. The jeweled band is missing one stone. The cap and barrel ends have a bit of scuffing. There are no imprints.
