Sheaffer Valiant Snorkel

Green pen with gold furniture.  White dot above clip.


There is very little difference to the casual observer between the initial models for the Touchdown filling system, which were made only in 1949 and 1950, and the vacuum-filler models which preceded them.  From my point of view, this makes for a very nearly perfect pen-- a better girth than the "Thin Model" versions which followed along, but an infinitely easier repair than the previous filler.  


Specifications:  Medium 14K point.  Touchdown filler.  Spring-loaded clip.

Condition: Astonishing, really.  The picture above exaggerates any matting to the body and trim substantially.  To the unaided eye, it might as well be a new pen apart from the ink window, which is clear but a rather dark amber.

Location:  My collection.

Repairs:  Seal and sac replaced, cleaning inside and out.

For Sale?:  No.
