My wife and I were checking out some nearby antique malls and I found a nice boxed Sheaffer fountain pen and pencil set for a reasonable price. My research leads me to believe it's a Sheaffer Touchdown TM Crest Deluxe set. They needed just a light cleaning and polishing to bring them back to my standards, but the pen is going to need a filler restoration.

This will be my first attempt at a Touchdown restoration. I've done quite a few lever- and button-fillers, so it seems to be time to tackle something a bit more complex.
