On our FB chat about the Ebonized Pearl Sheaffer Balances with off-catalogue "fish-scale" cap-bands (see couple threads here at FBG about those pens), Jon Szanto mentioned he prefers the wide patterned cap-bands on the striated Celluloid patterns (offered starting a bit later in the run by Sheaffer).
Well, ok then. I shot a few.
This cap-band, known as the "Jeweler's" cap-band (it is factory original), is more common than the fish-scale band, but still is more impressive appearing than the usual smooth thin cap-bands.
Small Lady Sheaffer Deluxe in Golden Brown Celluloid, Standard size Statesman Deluxe in Carmine Celluloid, oversized Premier Deluxe in Marine Green Celluloid.
