About To Attempt My First Triumph Restoration. What Is It?

[eharriett]

I figured IDing pens should go here rather than in the repair forum. Hope Im right.

 

Anyway, I just got a triumph in need of repair. I paid so little for it. I thought I would try it myself. After a 3 day soak, I finally got it apart, and I read Richard Binders instructions on how to repair. But I am not hundred percent sure which pen Ive got. I thought it was just a fat touchdown, but I may not be correct. Could someone help me? Once I know the pen, Ill know which parts to order.

 

This is the pen. I know the section isnt on all the way. I still had some scraping to do and didnt want to force it back together for pics:

And heres a comparison with a TM. TM is athe one below. Figured that should help with ID

Looks like a Sheaffer Valiant to me. Possibly a later model. The cap band is like I see on the striped Valiants that I have.

 

These are great pens IMO and hold lots of ink.

 

Good luck!

Thanks. I was wondering which repair Kit to get for it though.

It is a Valiant. And it is the later Touchdown filler model. So you will need the kit to restore a touchdown which would require the sac (17 or 17 1/2) and the large PFM-size O-ring.

Got it. Thank you!
