Two from Jim Gaston

I know everyone loves the cobalt, but to me, that sandblasted copper....WOW.


PS: How do you tell if you have a Legacy or Legacy II?

The Legacy has a faceted endcap like the PFM did on the Touchdown filler. The Legacy II has a smooth rounded conic endcap and the Legacy Heritage has no touchdown filler. Also the Legacy used the three prong clutch closure while the Legacy 2 and Heritage use a full clutch ring.

Remember that things moved as transitionals so I doubt Sheaffer stopped using the three prong closure until they ran out of them so finding one on a Legacy 2 would not surprise me.

Jar, don't know if you might have seen this, but it would interest you: at a recent pen show, Jim Mamoulides came up with a Sheaffer Legacy demonstrator section.

I saw that but I always thought the whole purpose of a demonstrator was to show all the nooks and crannies where ink gets.

That demonstrator section is toooo coooool.

So then I have Legacy II...with an extra section. I wonder if any of the Legacy ballpoint or rollerball bodies would fit.

Why I enjoyed that was because I got a good look at how the nib is initially affixed to the section with those tabs. I've been having a discussion with Bill Sexauer on Targa nibs, and this was quite helpful to getting a bigger picture.

Possibly BUT, IIRC the inner cap was different on the rollerball and the fountain pen nib might not fit. E-Mail Sam at Pendemonium and I bet she can get you an answer.

Thanks...definitely a L2, but I don't see my particular finish. Wonder if it could have been just for Levenger's?

Post a picture and maybe one of us will recognize it.

It MIGHT be this one...

Will take a look later, thanks.
