Sheaffer circa 1990s ID

Hello FPN,

 

Old lurker, but new poster here.

 

I was digging around my drawers and found this Sheaffer fountain pen in my drawer which I remember getting in the 1990s, quite sure from a newsagent in Australia and have a very, very vague recollection that it was branded or marketed something to the effect of 'My First Fountain Pen' (though it was not actually my first). It came with Skrip cartridges.

 

Couldn't find any active image links here that might tell me more, and the only thing I can find on it on Google is this ebay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134819428873 for a School Fountain Pen where it has Model No. PD3 Fountain Pen on the barrel. Mine does not have any markings other than Sheaffer on the clip.

 

Does anyone happen to know anything more about it?

 

Followup question, as the other school pens I've spotted around here are older, might I be fortunate enough to be able to use a converter with this, or will I have to stick with old cartridge refills? I have a plunger-style converter from a Sheaffer calligraphy set of approximately the same vintage but it is too loose.

 

Thanks and hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

We have a lot of that model (ballpoint/rollerball version) with Hertz advertising. 

 

It looks like the Delta Grip fountain pen in this eBay listing, except the section is different.

The one in the eBay listing looks like it takes the standard school pen nib units.

 

This one, however, looks closer to your pen and it's got a Sheaffer Delta Grip imprint on the barrel, so I think that is a confirmation.

Oh darn, thank you @terim for responding. I didn't receive notifications on updates to this thread and promptly forgot about it until I decided to try looking for the pen again and found my own post. :(

 

This is helpful though. Thank you! :)

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
