Golden Brown Striated Sheaffer Triumph Valiant Vacuum-fill

This is a newly restored and lovely Sheaffer Valiant from the middle to late 1940s. the Valiant was a top-line pen for Sheaffer and this one is no disappointment. It is the largest Triumph pen - see the dimensions below.

I've replaced the packing unit and gasket with modern synthetic materials that should last decades. I've buffed and polished the celluloid to a smooth, glossy finish. The plating is all intact; there is no brassing or plating loss. The ink-view section is darkly ambered but not opaque. I'd characterize the nib as a fine but please see the writing sample in the photo. The nib is round, wet and smooth with a slight hint of feedback on rapid cross-strokes.
