Customer Reviews
I bought the original of this model as a gift to myself upon my graduation from high school. As I recollect, $35 for an allowance extravagance. Forty-eight-years ago. My important undergraduate papers all were drafted in my hand with this pen.
Here it sits on my desk, that very pen. I seldom use it today: my writing/drawing style over my career moved out of necessity to flex pens, but occasionally I pick this one up again, --maybe out of esprit of pure nostalgia. For all of the pens I've worn out over the decades, this one never fails, is reliably stalwart, aside my neglect. Quick dab with my tongue, and it springs instantly into life. That Sheaffer never caved to offering a universal convertor to fit this pen has been my single gripe. PEN-INK-PAPER is a triumvirate! All three must work in consort. Over time I've shifted to other pen makers so to collect all three qualities in one package. But for consistency I've not owned a better pen than this model Sheaffer.
Apologies, Goulet Pen: I'm not due for a replacement. Together, we aim to go the distance. Best, C
