Where Can I Find A Cap For This Pen?

[claudewick]

Hi,

 

Recently I received a few pens and among them there was this Sheaffer Touchdown TM. It doesn't have a cap so I can't say which model it is. According to my research it could be a Crest, a Signature, a Sentinel or a Valiant. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

 

The color of the pen is probably Persian Blue, according to Richard Binder's reference page.

 

The pen seems to be in pretty good shape and the 14K two tone nib is also in excelent condittion. It only requires a new sac and o-ring replacement. But to put this pen in use again I need to find a cap.

 

I'd appreciate if you could tell me where can I find one.

 

Thanks

Claude

Someone else correct me if I'm wrong, but the bodies are interchangeable, and aside from the nib, the cap/trim is what defines what model it is. So hypothetically, any TM or Snorkel cap would fit, and the ones you identified would correctly match.

The TM Snorkel has a slightly longer barrel than the TM Touchdown. You're right, you could interchange caps between them. With the OP's "Persian" Blue, best bet is metal cap since there is no Persian Blue plastic capped Snorkel.

noted that yours is a blue pen and this is a black cap, if no one else puts their hand up with an offer for a blue cap do you want this black cap?

Hi Beechwood,

 

That's a kind offer that I can't refuse. It will allow me to put the pen in use until I find a matching cap.

 

I tried to send you my adress through a message, but some error ocurred. Please let me know how can I send you my adress.

 

Thank you very much.
