Filling System Snorkel filler, which is working very well after we restored it with a new sac, O-ring, and point gasket.

Nib EXTRA FINE 14k gold Sheaffer Triumph style nib is smooth and firm with nice tipping material. The nib has a slight "Waverly" upturn.
Condition Excellent condition. The pen has some handwear on the barrel. A couple of spots on the cap band where the gold plating has worn away, but no dents or dings on the cap. Clip looks great. The nib is a two-tone nib, though a fair bit of the platinum masking has been polished off. Pen is fully restored, and working very well.
