1943-5 Gray Pearl Sheaffer Triumph Sentinel fountain pen - fine nib
These steel caps are difficult to find without dents in the peak. Or, without any dents at all. The peak of this cap is perfect though there is an odd spot of melted plating on the edge of the cap band. Otherwise, the pen is in amazing condition. The clip is tight, straight and has an excellent spring. The barrel color and clarity are very good with only a hint of darkening from the original pale green. The gray striped celluloid is unblemished and is polished to be like new.
The filling system has been restored with modern synthetic materials that will last decades. The only maintenance required is an occasional dab of 100% pure silicone grease on the filler rod.
The nib writes a smooth, wet fine line. The cap may be posted gently without fear of marring the celluloid. This makes the pen comfortable in almost any hand.
