It's correct. Not sure why you call it a second-year pen; however, it is the second major version of the Tuckaway.

I saw where David had put the gold 1941 first years and the plastic bodies were the second year made.

 

It was probably only what i was thinking at the time. I was thinking also that this was only a 1942 made pen, Im really not a huge sheaffer collector but the price was right and I just love those conical nibs.

 

Thank you for the information. I wonder if the pencil will be so easy to spot as well?

All-gold-colored Tuckaway appears in the 1940 catalog.

Yes I looked at that old thread, I wish I had some of those catalougs. By the way nice web site.

 

I used Battersea for my repairs, Simon was always good. Now I just try and do the ones I know I can do myself. If I needed a repair these days, I would either have to post UK, or USA, or Tom in Italy.

Daniel,

Thank you for this. I didn't realize that these existed. Come to think of it, I'm so new to fountain pens that I didn't know that the PCoA existed. As soon as things settle down here in my home, I'm really going to have to go through the FPN newbies section and do some fast learning.
