As seen over on FPN, Appelboom did a nice preview video of the upcoming Sheaffer Legacy Heritage. The vid is pretty much to the point without a lot of fluff, and the pens actually look to be of old Sheaffer quality in manufacture.

The nibs, in particular, look terrific. It would be great if an authoritative source could confirm that they are, in fact, made by Sailor.
Vintage. Cursive italic. Iron gall.

Very nice.

The black one is sweet.
I didn't realize they were still making these. Nice to see that the ghost of Sheaffer is still around
They haven't been. This is a re-launch of the line that stopped around 20 years ago. Sheaffer is still around, but has been putting out a lot of crappy pens... or at least mediocre ones. This venture, in partnership with Sailor (doing the nibs, since Sheaffer apparently can't anymore), has some promise for the future.
