Product Name Imperial Sovereign (they made this in a gold filled and a sterling version).
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in USA -- 1970s.

Color 14k Yellow gold filled finish cut in a crosshatch or diamond pattern.
Nib Fine 14k long v-inlaid nib is firm and smooth.
Condition New old stock, never used. The pen managed to pick up some surface blemishes in storage, so there is some un-eveness of the coating they put on the gold filled finish to prevent tarnishing. The cap band and the smooth part at the end of the barrel show this the most. The pen is new, but it is not mint. Ships in correct era box. The box lining says that it is a marker but this is the original box as we converted the rollerball-marker to a fountain pen.
