The Sheaffer 1000 - The Dolphin - One Of The Less Known Models!

hahaha! loved the review and comparison !!!!

the multipla....*shakes head in disbelief*

My other half thinks the pen is kind of cute. I think you're right...multipla-ish. Too bulbous...fugly =P

These pens are generally well made, but that nib design is ugly. For a long time I thought Sheaffer was foolish to build a pen with an ugly design like that. Now I know it could have been worse and they could have built a car with that design, and indeed somebody did. I prefer my tuna Dolphin nib free.

woop! I allmost forgot - a writing sample:

The nib is a fine (a true fine! - like modern western EF nibs!) and sooo smooth, it glides over the paper but it's not too smooth - it gives a great feedback

depending on what paper you are using - I tend not to keep the same pens for too long but I think I'll keep this one for a loooong time!

I won't call that design ugly. Different, but not ugly.

I bought one of these Sheaffer Dolphins today, my second, the first was when it was new.

 

It really is a nice pen, looks better in life than in pictures.

That's an intriguing design. I wouldn't call it ugly either.

Thanks for the entertaining and humorous review!
