I was hoping the community could give me some insight on this pen, as I am not well versed in Sheaffer repairs or values. I think this is a Triumph Tuckaway due to its size, but I noticed it doesn't have the military style clip, and the section is colored to match the body.
At first I was just going to sell this pen as a parts pen but when I polished it up it started to grow on me. The plunger doesn't work. The shaft will move up and down, but it will not suck up water. Also, the blind cap is very wobbly. I tried unscrewing it and it came off, but when you try threading it back in, it doesn't get secure.
As you can see there are teeth marks on the blind cap. The cap itself has a great looking clip, but the band across the bottom is up tight on one side and is showing a small gap in other spots, which I tried to capture in the photo.
Can the blind cap be secured? Can the cap band be fixed with out getting a new cap? Will all of these issues, plus the price of repairing the filling mechanism make it not a wise decision financially to restore?
Any idea on what an example of this pen in good condition would sell for?
