Blue Sheaffer PFM IV - fine point

The PFM is a legendary pen for good reason. A big pen; but not too big. A gorgeous, 14 kt inlaid nib. PFM IV, with a stainless steel cap, seem to be more difficult to find that the more common PFM pens with plastic caps.

The PFM is the last Sheaffer made with a snorkel filler. This pen has been equipped with a silicone sac that should last far longer than the original latex. Though silicone sacs are gas permeable the Snorkel tube regulates flow and prevents ink burps.

The condition is excellent with no damage, dings, nicks or cracks. The pen and cap are so shiny that I had difficulty taking reasonable photographs. Anything in the photos that looks like a crack is only a reflection of something else.

The fine, inlaid nib writes a wet, smooth line. These nibs are not flexible so they should never be pushed.
