Update: I found a spare blind cap that will go over the button filler. It is shorter than the desk blind cap so it'll allow pen to be normal sized as oppose to desk pen length. I will ship both desk blind cap and shorter blind cap with pen.

Asking $68

12. Sheaffer Snorkel, Two Tone Silver-Gold Cap
Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/h6DYEVk
Snorkel Filler - I'm not sure if this one works or will need restoration. The snorkel does extend out as it should and when i push plunger down, pen makes a swoosh sound and I am able to expell maybe two or three drops of water/ink. I don't have much experience with snorkel fillers so this may need restoration. The snorkel mechanism does not retract all the way into the nib, maybe like 85% retraction, see pictures.
14K Gold Nib - Fine point, good writer, you can get some line variation from nib, see writing sample.
Pen is in good condition for it's age without any major scratches, chips, or cracks, but like any vintage/used pen it may have light scratches/signs of use. Pen will likely benefit from some light polishing.
