Help With Sheaffer Model

[Vincent33]

Hello everyone

84 year old new member with a question

Can anyone tell me which Sheaffer model this is.

Brown with sailing ship cap

Nib reads : Sheaffer M Made in USA. There is also a small capital R in a circle

Any information would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Vince.

Hey, Vince. Welcome!

 

Any possibility of a picture?

 

In the meantime, you can look through this very helpful page. You might find it, or one like it.

Nice link, but I was surprised that the Connaisseur was not included in that listing.

Vince-good to hear from you. I, at 76, worry that perhaps I'm becoming too old to have this hobby but it's encouraging to learn of your participation. Good luck with your search!

Sounds like it could be a No Nonsense

My No Nonsense has a steel nib; my Connaisseur has an 18k nib and feels higher quality. Ron Zorn explained in a thread how he converted a No Nonsense into an "almost" Connaisseur. .

Yeah, "sailing ship cap" could be a No Nonsense with a Mayflower Movers logo on the top of the cap. I've seen them on eBay.

If I ain't had one in hand, it ain't on the site.

 

(yes, this is a desperate and transparent attempt to get someone to send their Connaisseur to me so I can gander at it)

The next time you fly through Atlanta I'll bring mine to the airport.
