Sheaffer Snorkel Statesman Pastel Green

[ihopgod]

Everything I have learned about this pen stems from Richardspens and PenHero, which indicate that this pen is a fine-nibbed Palladium silver (PdAg “TRIUMPH”) nib. This pen includes the original box and instructions, too.

 

The reason why I am trading this is because there is an issue with getting the pen to draw up ink. I am certainly interested in pen repair, but I do not want to begin on pens like this.

 

So, in short, I am looking to trade this pen for something else. I really have no major preferences on what is being traded for this pen, so long as it is a fair deal.

 

More information about this pen:

The tines on this pen seem slightly misaligned and are rather flexible.

A dip test with the pen revealed that this nib is a scratchy writer, at least in my opinion.

The barrel and gold band are both in very good shape, with only some micro-scratches from handling, otherwise this pen does not seem to have seen a lot of action.

Again, I am having issues with getting the pen to fill with ink after flushing with water. I am assuming the sac needs replacing, but I am not an expert.

 

Images of the pen, box, and instructions are available at the link below. Message me with any additional questions or offers.
