Hello, I'm pretty new to the fountain pen world. I have just received a vintage Shaffer pen as a gift. The pen is not perfect but I like it very much. Because of the age, the sac is completely gone and need a replacement. Is there anyone able to tell me the pen model and which kind of sac is needed?Furthermore, anyone knows where to buy a new sac in Italy ?

Thank you very much

Sheaffer Balance Feather Touch (one tier below the Lifetime White Dot pen).

 

Don't know who in Italy fixes pens, but plenty folks here in the States do.

I'm assuming that yours is a lever-filler. I don't see the lever, but the lack of a visible blind cap indicates that it's probably a lever-filler.

Thank you.

You are right. The pen is a level-filler one. Do you know which size of sac is needed?

Thans again,

Sciutta

Probably a #16 sac.

There's a chart here:

I do not know if this info is useful to you, but I bought a replacement sac for a vintage lever filler pen from "La Casa della Penna" in Corso Umberto I in Naples.

      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

      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
