SH1814 Sheaffer Sentinel Fountain Pen and Ballpoint Set, boxed. (Medium)

Date: c1980

Size: Capped - 133mm; posted - 149mm

This beautiful Japanese glossy grey lacquered Sheaffer set is in excellent, and as far as I can see, totally undamaged condition.  These pens were made for Sheaffer by the Sailor Pen Company of Japan.  Both cap and barrel ends are flat with black plastic inserts.  The pocket clips are straight and inscribed with the Sheaffer "S" at the bottom.  Around the cap lips is engraved "Sheaffer" and "Japan".  Both caps and barrels are finished in a beautiful glossy darkish grey lacquer. 

Fountain Pen

The section is in glossy grey plastic with a gold plated "collar" at the end.  The lovely shiny nib is also gold plated with a distinctive heart-shaped air hole.  It is in a medium point.  The pen will accept most International sized ink cartridges, or a Sailor standard ink converter. 

Ballpoint

This is a retractable pen that works by pressing the gold plated button at the crown of the pen.  It has a gold plated point.  It will accept either Sheaffer "K" refills, or Sailor standard ballpoint refills.  The original Sheaffer refill in the pen works sporadically; let me know when ordering this set if you'd like me to include a fresh Sailor refill.  

Box

The original box has a grey leatherette covering and a pale pink satin interior.  The edge of the base is brass lined for that added touch of quality.  It, too, is in excellent condition.  

I have fully serviced this set.  The fountain pen writes very well with a nice, smooth, and wet fine-to-medium width line.  The ballpoint works perfectly.  

A beautiful pen set in near pristine condition and quite sought after today
