Description;

This is the Valiant, another of the snorkel filling fountain pens from Sheaffer. It was made in Australia around 1952 and is finished in Burgundy with a gold-filled cap band and clip. The Fountain Pen comes with a matching Pencil and is supplied in its original box.

The pen is fitted with a Triumph style palladium silver wraparound nib which writes with a smooth Medium Italic line.

The snorkel filling system was unique to Sheaffer and consisted of a narrow tube that extended out from under the nib. This tube is dipped in the ink bottle and used to draw up the ink into the reservoir. This keeps the nib clean and it was an efficient system that worked very well.

The mechanism on this pen has been fully serviced. The set is in excellent condition throughout and has seen very little use.

Condition: Grade A
