Saw these at a department store today and was curious. What model(s) are these pens?
Thanks in advance.

Those are Sheaffer Award fountain pens. Late 1990s / early 2000s vintage. The early version has a bulbous knob on the barrel end that the cap snaps onto. The early pen came in quite a few finishes, including different plastics. The mid 2000s revival has a cylindrical plastic knob for the same purpose and that fountain pen only came in brushed chrome with gold or nickel plate trim.

As Jim says various Awards, nice pens, although on the couple I have the rubber grip has come loose making t diffucult to unscrew the sections unles you grip very tight. Having said this they are quite good writers.
