    Default 1942-5 (WW II era) Sheaffer Triumph in Golden Pearl Celluloid with Special Nib.

    Picked this up at the August 2014 Washington DC Pen Show:



    Lever-fill pens are the minority for WWI-era Sheaffer Triumph fountain pens-- the vast majority are plunger-fill.



    But, that's not what's really neat.

    Modern music nibs are popular with those who like them (go figure). Finding a music nib in a 1940s American pen is rare rare rare (in the proper sense of the word). So when this one turned up at the Washington DC Pen Show last month, I happily grabbed it. Amongst the tens of thousands of old pens I've seen/handled, this is the first WW II era Sheaffer with a Music point I've seen. Happy David.

    Will this find a permanent home in your collection or is it up for sale?

    Hi Dan,

    Though I am collector >> user, the rarity of the nib certainly qualifies it for my Sheaffer collection, at least for now.

    Best Regards

    Now that's impressive David !! I think those wide band models some of the nicer '40s offerings from Sheaffer.

    Regards
