What Sheaffer pen are you using today?

[minemap]

Brushed Stainless Prelude with the 18k plated steel nib, Medium. With Lamy Black ink. Nice little pen, was my first!

[rogerb]

A newly-acquired (ebay), previously uninked brushed stainless Targa, with Med steel nib.

 

I didn't realise it had a steel nib until it arrived (should have, from the price) but it is a beautifully smooth writer...using also newly-arrived Diamine Mediterranean Blue, a very nice turquoise.

Did I forget?

 

A wonderful translucent green No nonsense, with a rather fine-ish medium nib, butter smoooth. Feels really nice posted. This is the one with the screw cap and SS Nib, maybe a slightly older model?

Yep, it predates the new version of the Viewpoint NNs with their sloped caps and rubber grips. The new versions look awful imho.

 

Am using a Sheaffer Craftsman TD that I just restored -- feels great Sweet medium #33 nib too.

Legacy II - fine - purchased from Rebecca. Since it's new home it has not left my briefcase - and I'm not sure that it will. great everyday writer.

Two Sheaffers -

 

-an NOS 1965 Imperial VI C/C filler, filled with Pelikan Black (a perfect writer, but with a squirrely converter that I've given up on),

- a 1960's School Pen, transparent red body (rounded end), that I used in junior high, and still writes great!

I am using a Black Legacy I with a gold cap. Medium nib. Backed up by a gold-filled Parker T-ball Jotter. I think it is very cool to go around with a Parker arrow and a Sheaffer white dot sticking out of my pocket. Not a single person has ever noticed, of course.

 

I also use an Imperial desk set, which never seems to run out of ink.

A burgundy Scheaffer Statesman (as you can se below). It is a Snorkel - they are the best to use up the ink in botles that are almost empty - a lot easier than tipping the bottle! Also, a great pen, reconditioned by Quicksilver - it writes like a charm and every time. A tiny bit of tooth lets me know it's there and writing!

 

What a pleasure to use this pen -

[Sasha Royale]

Bullet-shaped, transparent blue Sheaffer first generation cartridge pen. It has a very smooth, medium nib. I would estimate c. early 1960's. I use an International Standard cartridge, with a nail-punched pilot hole in the flat end. After several removals and installations from refilling of the cartridge, the seal will become loose. Replace the cartridge, or add, to the barrel, the spring from a ballpoint pen.

(I knew those "biros" were good for something. )
