I just happened on this video and it peaked my interest! I have this exact same pen...it was a Christmas gift to me in about 1954 or so. I was in grade school and my Mon had given this pen to my Dad (pen & pencil set) the year before. I admired it so much that my folks gave me my own a year later! I still have it today along with my Dad's original set. His set was the same system with the same nib but in all gold (probably 12k gold-filled) cap and barrell both gold with the familiar fluted lines; my Dad's pen has his first two initials and last name engraved on the barrell. Very classy indeed! A year or two ago, I had them both restored and tuned; the sack that holds the ink needed replacing after 65+ years since new! They both write like new and are most enjoyable to use. Both gave the "fine" nib which is lightly imprinted on the under side of the nib as "f5." it is very faint but there just above the bottom of the feed. Brings back some memories for this senior!

It's a Triumph nib not an inlaid nib,the latter appearing on the PFM which replaced the Triumph nibbed TM snorkels.And it's all solid 14K gold,the silver colour being a Platinum mask,so I believe.

I have this exact pen, but a first production with a gold filler tube. I absolutely adore it. Such an interesting bit of engineering.

When I was in grade school one of my teachers had one (yes, even as a kid I was intrigued by fountain pens) with a gold barrel. Among other things she used it to fill our our report cards.

Oh no!!!! Damn how long will you be gone for? Ah, I just started watching your videos lol. Well I hope you the best in the army. Prayers for safe return once you’re done. Be sure to bring your favorite pens with you!

👌👌👌😍😍🍃 Now Sheaffer Family is Split & not making like earlier ??

I have an heirloom snorkel. I’ve never tried to ink it up. Enjoy your time in the army, because it’s pretty cool for it to be like a part of the compulsory education we all endure in youth. It sounds like everybody in your original country will end up with at least some military sense, and probably promotes a sense of public involvement. I hope it ends up being a fun rite of passage that you take pride and joy in later. ❤

Thanks for this reviews ❤

Hey dude, which country are you from? :) went through conscription myself 7 years ago and it definitely was an experience!

Well, it does have a spring loaded clip!

I lost my sheaffer 300 yesterday. Can you recommend a similarly priced replacement? I'd used that one for 3 years, it was a gift. So I'm not very familiar with fountain pens but I loved the one I had and used the heck out of it.

I'd like to call that Sheaffer nib's normal slight upturn a semi Waverly. from owning one steel nibbed Imperial, not much of a fan though, since it makes for a less responsive feel of a nib, similarly to PenBBS' minifudes. I like the slight downturn of nibs that can make it feel pushy/draggy or even bouncy; vintage flex nibs have those, but even Pilot Custom no.5 nibs kind of do, the caveat is that without bouncing, or writing with slight pressure on the downstroke and keeping at it, many of them feel unpleasant to write with absolutely no pressure at all(by this, I mean only writing with nearly the pen's own weight, and many of those pens are light, like around 10-20 grams max, while the tunings look very tight by default)
