FS: Shorthand Mark Brown Stripe Sheaffer Balance

[CCreag]

Hi,

 

For sale is a standard size brown stripe Sheaffer Lifetime Balance fountain pen. The pen is in very good condition for its age, there are only a few light scratches, no teethmarks or cracks. The trim seems to be clean, with mirco-scratches but doesn't look to be brassed. The only real flaw with this pen is that the visulated section is rather dark (not totally darkened though, as you can see through it against a bright light). The imprint is very clear and deep. What makes this pen unique is that it is marked between the cap and the lever with the Greg Shorthand mark for "shorthand," which I believe makes this pen significantly less common than the average Balance of its condition. The two-tone lifetime nib is smooth, stiff, and very fine (I would say a fine or extra-fine depending on how picky you are about fineness) and the pen's lever filling system works very well.

For Pictures of this very nice pen!

Were the notes, next to the pen in the photos, written with that pen?
