Product Description
Type Vintage touchdown filling fountain pen and mechanical pencil set.
Product Name TM Touchdown Triumph, this is the thin version with a white dot on the cap.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in USA -- this model was only produced in 1950-51.
Length 5-5/16" pen, 4-15/16" pencil.
Filling System The pen is a Touchdown filler. We've fully restored it with a new sac and o-ring and it's working perfectly. The pencil takes 0.9mm leads, which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism. It's working well, and we'll include a small pack or leads.
Color Fully gold filled cap and barrels in a lined pattern with gold plated trim.
Nib MEDIUM two-tone 14k Lifetime Triumph nib is smooth and firm with nice tipping remaining.
Condition The pen is in excellent condition with some light wear, no cracks, chips, or personalization. There are a couple of light dents in the top of the cap, and where the clip has pushed into the cap. There's a touch of brassing on the very tip of the clip, as well as some light scratches and minor marks on the end of the barrel from the cap being posted. It's fully restored and working well.
The pencil shows dings and dents, especially on the cap piece, but hardly any brassing or plating wear. The tube which holds the eraser and extra leads is bent and worn, and there is no eraser. Still the pencil works well, and looks nice with the matching pen.
