    Default Need Help in IDing a Sheaffer

    I have a Sheaffer Pen, with a gold nib and gold band, but I'm not sure what model is. Can anyone help with an id.IMG_0355.JPG

    Sheaffer (modern) Crest, 1990s, this finish maybe 1995 or so, Ultramarine Blue I think.

    Introduced 1996 with model number 582 per Gary Ellison's excellent reference site.

    I'm probably overdue to show some of my prototypes. They're ultra rare and off-catalogue.

    I had a nice sushi dinner. I was told I had baited breath (ducking).

    Think there are ten or so Crests. Not teasing on that front. I'll try to shoot one this week.
