Sheaffer Legacy 2 Black Pearl Special Edition 2001

Hi, Folks!

Thought I would post a pic of one of the most unusual Sheaffer Legacy pens, the Black Pearl Special Edition.

The Black Pearl Special Edition, model 854, was released in 2001, offered as a Touchdown fountain pen for $275 or a rollerball pen for $160. The modern art style design was done in collaboration with Modus Product Design in Stuttgart, Germany and was inspired by the black pearls found in the South Pacific. Each pen was individually finished with a deep blue base color decorated with an array of black pearl elements. The trim and 18 karat gold nib are electroplated with palladium. They were presented in an unusual chrome color latched box.

The edition did not sell out and was offered to dealers as overstocks in 2004. Mint pens now occasionally appear for sale for as much as twice the original list price.

Thanks!

Wow, That's a real beauty!

 

How good is that nib? It's 18K right?

In my opinion, the Legacy fine is stiff and writes like a pencil, the medium nib is softer but not flexible and wet, the broad is very wet. All give pencil like feel on paper.

One of these fountain pens was available at the Baltimore pen show yesterday. It was lovely and I would have liked to take it home. If I recall, the asking price was $395. I own a different Legacy 2 and it is also a lovely pen. At that price, I left it for someone else to own & enjoy.

 

Regards,

Craig
