1948 Umber Sheaffer Triumph Sentinel Deluxe set
1948 Umber Sheaffer Triumph Sentinel Deluxe set
Some pen collectors like to use the term Oversize Triumph or Triumph OS. I find that odd since Sheaffer made only 2 sizes of Triumph pen. Nevertheless, if you are a fan of the bigger pens then this is it - this is the largest, most top-line model of Sheaffer Triumph. This is a pen & pencil set so there is no price code on the pen barrel. If it were only the pen it would have a price code stamp of 1750 for $17.50.
This set is close to NOS (New Old Stock). It may have been inked a few times. There is every evidence they have spent most, if not all, of the last 73 years stored in a box. The caps have no dings, the plastic has no marks or marring and the plating is perfect. This is truly a Deluxe writing set. The grip section is clear to view the ink level. The nib writes a firm, smooth, wet, fine line.
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.
