Sheaffer Legacy Heritage

The Legacy Heritage started out its life as the PFM (Pen For Men) in the late 1950s-early 60s as a snorkel filler. It was a rather stout pen, ideally suited to a man's large hand, hence its name. When fountain pens became collectable the PFMs became very desirable and still change hands today for hundreds of pounds.

In the 1990s it was reintroduced as The Legacy, a return to former glories. No longer a snorkel filler, it nevertheless had the old touchdown filling system with the added bonus of the sac filler unit being removable to take cartridges.

The Legacy has now morphed into the Legacy Heritage. Still the same size as The Legacy and PFM but now with the standard screw-type filler unit, removable to take cartridges. It comes in some beautiful and unusual finishes, of which I have the following.

£220

LEG-01

Sterling silver barleycorn pattern with gold-plated trim. 18ct gold nib with medium point. Mint and boxed.

£150

LEG-02

Black leather finish with chrome trim. 18ct white gold nib with medium point. Mint and boxed.

£150

LEG-06

Black lacque with palladium cap with gold trim. An 18ct gold nib with medium point. Mint and boxed.

£150

LEG-07

Palladium cap, barrel and trim with straight-line chase pattern. 18ct white gold nib with medium point. Mint and boxed. This bright palladium, like chrome, doesn't scan very well, hence the coloured reflections in the above. 

£140

LEG-04

This pattern is now discontinued. The pen has an 18ct white gold nib with a medium point. Unboxed.

£140

LEG-09

Brushed gold plate. 18ct gold nib with  broad point.

£140

LEG-08

Black lacque with palladium trim. 18ct white gold nib with broad point.

Fashion

£20

SHE-01

This is a Sheaffer Fashion cartridge pen in orange swirl and with a gold plated nib. You will sometimes see this pen offered as a Sheaffer Prelude. This is incorrect, and comes about because it was wrongly issued with the instructions marked 'Prelude' rather than 'Fashion'.

The pen I have here was part of a Christmas promotion and so comes with a beautiful two-tone key ring engraved with a Sheaffer nib.

Complete with presentation box and spare cartridges.

Available with Fine nib only

Sheaffer Onyx Desk Set

£200

 SHE-05

This magnificent Sheaffer fountain pen and ballpen desk set in white Onyx is in absolutely mint condition. The fountain pen has the Triumph nib in medium point and is a convertible filler. An additional point of interest is that it comes with a brass plate outline of Italy which can be optionally fixed to the stand. The unit comes in a polished wooden box. However, the box has obviously been stored for some time and is not in pristine condition.

The Triumph range of ball pens come in a baffling array of names and numbers. I have tried to simplify it here by just calling them all Triumph, and selling them, mint but unboxed, at £10 each. Please click here to see the pictures.
