Hi, y'all- I had a few questions regarding a pen I might be coming into soon.

 

My girlfriend's dad and I were talking about my new fountain pen habit and he mentioned he has an unopened Sheaffer Centennial pen that he would like to give to me if he can find it.

 

I do not know much about Sheaffer or high-end pens in general - the most expensive of my 5 pens are two Pilot Metropolitans.

 

I could not find too much about this pen around the internet and I was wondering if anyone here would have any knowledge about what to expect- i.e. what type of filling system it has, overall quality/performance, etc.

 

Any info would be appreciated, thank you!

Pilot Metropolitan (M)

Huh? But the barrel and writing section looks like a Legacy Heritage. Were there two versions issued of the 100 year anniversary commemorative pen? This is the version familiar to me, which is based on the Legacy Heritage:

 

 

"Each Sheaffer Legacy® Heritage Centennial Limited Edition writing instrument is crafted in solid Sterling Silver and features intricately engraved images of significant pieces of Sheaffer history. Engraved in Germany, this collection is limited to 1913 pieces worldwide. Each writing instrument bears the internationally-respected hallmark from the Goldsmiths Company at the Assay Office of London. The Goldsmiths Company has been testing and marking jewelry and silverware since 1300 to guarantee the fineness and purity of precious metal content, making its hallmark one of the oldest forms of consumer protection."

Yup. Just to keep the future collectors confused and confounded Sheaffer did issue two different versions of the Centennial pen, one based on the Legacy family and the other on the NoNonsense/Connaissuer family.

Quite the pen in either version.

Kinda weird to see NoNonsense/Connaisseur-like pens sporting the iconic inlaid nibs.

      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

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      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
