The nib looks a bit fuzzy to me. You will need a clip/screw/jewel and a blind cap. I'd replace the filler but even ugly ones are hard to get. Might have a blind cap from the LA purchases though it may be silver.

San Francisco International Pen Show - The next “Funnest Pen Show” is on schedule for August 23-24-25, 2024.  Watch the show website for registration details.

I passed on this one, as I'm already looking for a spare golden pearl blind cap. With the clip issue, wonky bc on this one, it didn't seem like it would pan out. Best of luck.

 

Gotta love Volumatic.

I know I can not start at the top so I troll on the bottom that is how you learn in life.

On my monitor the cap looks silver pearl and the barrel golden pearl. Am I seeing correctly?

 

Nah, early silver pearl pens just discolor like this sometimes. JotterAddict, I think you could make a decent pen out of this if you've got the parts laying around. I had put in an offer for $20 on this pen, but the seller declined it. I was just going to use it for parts.

Check out my article on the Sheaffer Snorkel in The Pennant magazine!

My first bid was $20 also then I went to $25. Nib alone was worth the purchase.

Now I have 3 of these pens. One is in great shape [ still needs cleaning ].

I do have a 2nd pen with a persons name on the barrel . I figure to use that pen for the

parts on this 3rd one. However the blind cap swap will not work as one is just a bit smaller in Dia. with the barrel. Overall still a good buy.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
