Up for sale are two Sheaffer Touchdowns, both Craftsman. Prices include shipping in CONUS, international shipping rates are high in the US so the cost will be much more. Both pens are restored by me (I have received professional training). Offers are always considered.
1) Green Craftsman

I got this pen as part of a restoration lot. There were a number of scratches, and the cap ring is a little off. I used it to test my new buffing set up, and the scratches have either been buffed out or are significantly reduced. There is a gash on the TD knob which I did not try to take out. The ebonite on the front end of the feed is a little mottled, but does not affect function. I restored the filling system and cleaned the whole front end. The exciting feature of this pen is the No. 5 feather touch, which flexes from fine to broad, and is like writing with a Waterman Keyhole nib. The pen has its cosmetic issues, but is a very satisfying writer. $55
2) Burgundy Craftsman

Cosmetically this is in great shape, internals are clean and rebuilt by me. Nib looks to be an extra-fine. $35.
