1943-5 Golden Brown Sheaffer Triumph Statesman - fine point
Second generation Triumphs are my favorite. They are notable for their striped celluloid grip sections. I think that makes them particularly good looking.
The pen is in excellent condition. The barrel transparency and clarity are very good. There are no flaws in the plating. The only flaw in the celluloid is a small crack under the clip. This will not propagate and if it ever does I will replace the cap for free. The nib is a larger & longer LIFETIME rather than the shorter tined 59 & 79 nibs. It writes a firm, wet fine line. The long tines of this nib make it a true, round fine rather than the stubby line written by most of the shorter tined 59 & 79 nibs.
I have large hands and find no trouble in using this pen without posting the cap. However, the cap posts easily and firmly to make this pen comfortable for those who prefer a longer pen.
The filling system has been restored with modern synthetic materials. They will last for decades with an occasional bit of silicone grease applied to the filler rod. The filler restoration is guaranteed for at least one year.
