1943-5 Marine Green Sheaffer Triumph Statesman - extra-fine point

Sheaffer made at least two Triumphs with each model name. Three if you include the Tuckaways. So confusing. This is such a pen. This is the large size Statesman. There was also a slightly smaller Statesman whose nib is stamped 79 and has shorter tines. And there was a Tuckaway version that was even smaller - and cuter.

This is a beautiful pen. The celluloid is in excellent shape with very good color and clarity of the transparent barrel stripes. The striped celluloid grip section and that big, beautiful nib are striking.

The nib is an extra-fine (modern Japanese XF) adjusted to write a wet, smooth line. Glorious.
