Help Identifying A Sheaffer

[SonjaH]

I just bought this Shaeffer at an estate sale, and am having trouble identifying it. The white dot is on the very tip of the cap, and it has a wide gold band?

It is a vacuum fill, Triumph nibbed pen. http://www.richardspens.com/?page=ref/nibs/triumph.htm A lot of good info at that link.

 

 

Edited to add. Hmm the link is not working for me. Do a google search for Richards pens and Triumph. That should get you there.

Thanks! Found the article. So since the white dot is on the very tip of the cap, it sounds like it must be an been an early model Triumph?

Yes, earlier and wider model.

Peyton Street has a Sheaffer Identifier page that might help. Looks like a nice pen; those Triumph nibs can be really smooth.
