Where Are Sheaffer Legacy Heritages Made?

Hey everyone,

 

I just bought a Sheaffer Legacy Heritage and I noticed it does not have any inscription as to where its made. This is different from my Sheaffer Prelude, which has the word USA written on the cap.

 

Would anyone else know?

Hi Pendrive,

 

A few years ago, the Sheaffer subsidiary was purchased from Bic, by A.T. Cross. Since most Cross pens are made in China; I'd say it's a pretty good bet that's where Sheaffer's are made now, too.

 

Sheaffer's haven't been made in the States since 1999, IIRC... so enjoy your vintage pen. ;)

 

Be well... enjoy life... and your new Sheaffer... please let us know how you like it. :)

The Legacy line production was in the USA u til they switched to the Heritage and moved it to China. Still a good pen. The stub nib grinds were not the same though in my opinion.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

Present-day Sheaffers are made in Italy. The boxes are made in China. The individual parts are probably sourced from all over. The Legacy I own (essentially a new elongated PFM) was (perhaps?) one of the last of those made in the USA. That was 1999.

Hi Europen, et al,

 

If this is the case, I'll have to wear a bag over my head for not knowing it. :blush:

I have the first Legacy off the production line. I won it in a contest that Pen Word had. It is marked Legacy One,

and at that time (1995) it was made in the US.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
