EXCELLENT TRANSPARENCY!
VAC-FILLER HOLDS A TON OF INK!

The pen is in
EXCELLENT
condition.
It measures 5 1/8" in the capped position.
The pen has been disassembled, cleaned, tested, and inspected
The pen's vac-fill system works smoothly and fills with ink as designed as I have installed a new piston washer and packing assembly. I drilled out the old packing assembly and replaced it with a new packing gasket and closure washer ala David Nishimura's instructions for an airtight fit.
The section has EXCELLENT transparency so you can see exactly how much ink is in the pen.
The 14K GOLD conical "WAVERLY" nib of the pen has the expected gentle upturn at the end and is FINE in size.
The nib is imprinted "Sheaffers, Lifetime, Reg US Pat Off, Made in USA, 14K".
The imprint on the pen states "W.A. Sheaffer Pen Co, Fort Madison Iowa USA, Made in USA".
NOTE the original owner's name is imprinted on the barrel
If you have any questions, please ask--I will respond quickly. Good Luck!
About tbickiii's Vintage Fountain Pens:
Based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I have been collecting and restoring fountain pens since 1999.  In order to enable my collecting "habit", I sell restored vintage fountain pens and the occasional modern fountain pen here on ebay.  I do all of the restoration work myself and stand behind my work.  I enjoy restoring these vintage pens and sending them on to someone to use and enjoy.
I list all my pens on SUNDAY NIGHT, so please check in and see what I have to offer.
I typically list Parker, Sheaffer, and Wahl Eversharp every week, with the occasional Waterman and Pelikan.
Also, you can sign up for my NEWSLETTER above to get weekly e-mail notifications of the pens I have listed.
