    Default FS: Green Sheaffer School Pen custom 0.8mm italic

    For Sale:

    $40 Shipped CONUS

    This is a Sheaffer School pen. It has a boring fine nib that was a little scratchy. No one wants one of those. I spent some time and ground that down to a 0.8mm fine italic. I smoothed it until it didn't catch the paper on upstrokes and flourishes. It still has a small amount of tooth though. I throughly cleaned the pen and the writing samples are dipped only. I'm not sure how wet this writes with a cartridge. I do have a Turquoise Sheaffer cartridge I can try if you want to know how wet it writes with a cartridge. I will then ship it with the cartridge installed.

    It is in good used shape. There are marks on the body from posting, but you can't see them once the pen is posted

    This is the stock fine nib.



    This is the nib after the regrind:











    That looks less than 1mm. 0.8mm-ish maybe?

    Anyone have any interesting trades? I would even trade for broken Esterbrook LJ as I have a rootbeer with a crack in the section at the nib end. All I need is a section to repair that one.

    So due to lack of interest I went ahead and cleaned out the old cartridge today. It's been soaking for a while now and cleaned right up. I can fill it with one of the following inks:

    Noodlers Black American Eel
    Noodlers X-Feather
    Noodlers Liberty's Elysium
    Noodler's Baystate Blue
    Montblanc Toffee Brown
    Montblanc Winter Glow
    Pelikan Blue Black
    Visconti Blue
    Diamine Red Dragon
    Diamine Syrah
    Diamine Graphite
    Diamine Pumpkin
    Diamine Florida Blue
    Diamine Emerald
    J Herbin 1670 Rouge Hematite
    Rohrer & Klingner Salix
    Iroshizuku Yama-Guri
    Iroshizuku Kon-Peki
    Kobe Nunobiki Emerald (#13)
    Aurora Black
    Pelikan Edelstein Tourmaline
    Pelikan Edelstein Aventurine

    Now you really want this. You know you need a cool green italic pen.

    How are you going to ship safely an open cartridge?
