Product Description
Type | Fountain Pen |
Product Name | Imperial II Deluxe (it's on a sticker on the cap) |
Manufacturer and Year | Sheaffer - 1960s |
Length | 5-3/8" capped (Pen) |
Filling System |
Touchdown (vacuum) filling system - in perfect working order with excellent suction ... it makes that nice "whoosh" sound. |
Color |
The body is a deep shiny color. (Please make color selection from pulldown menu.) |
Nib |
Conical Triumph nib, not marked as to metal but marked Sheaffer Made in USA, silver-colored. (We have heard these described as unhallmarked palladium.) Very smooth. I'd say the nib is slightly less flexible than the Sheaffer gold inlaid nibs, but more flexible than the inlaid steel nibs. Hope that helps a little. |
Condition BRAND NEW OLD STOCK FROM THE 1960s! |
These pens are new old stock from the early 1960s. Most have a small speck of pitting on the clip, but otherwise they are perfect. They have never been used and the fountain pen has never been inked. We have replaced the O-ring, and the suction is excellent. Not returnable for full refund if the pen has been filled with ink, unless it is defective. |
Photos below show examples of the pitting on the clips.
