Black Sheaffer Snorkel Desk Pen with palladium silver Triumph nib. Restored with new seals and sac about 1.5 years ago. The snorkel tube is dented (pictured), but everything functions as it should. It's just that when used as a squirt gun, water shoots off to the side slightly. You can easily adjust your aim to compensate.
I found that I didn’t like the desk pen setup to much and wanted to carry it, so I obtained a Sentinel-style cap (small dent in the top), cut off most of the pointy blind cap extension, and repolished the end. The result is quite attractive, as what comes out is a reddish ring around a black dot. The base is black glass with a black trumpet and no personalizations, just an inconspicuous “Sheaffer’S” sticker.
Just noticed that I don't have a picture of it with the cap posted. It posts fine, about the same as a regular Snorkel.
Line width is about 0.45mm to 0.5mm.
$45 shipped via Priority Mail to US destinations.
