Vintage Sheaffer Fat Td Touchdown Fountain Pen Sentinel Black 14k F Restored

  

This listing is for an early 1949-50 Sheaffer Touchdown fountain pen in black. These first generation Touchdown or TD fountain pens are noticeably fatter than the more common slim or skinny TDs which closely resemble the Sheaffer Snorkels. Sentinel model, which is a white dot pen. Has a polished stainless steel cap with a gold filled clip and wide gold filled cap band.

Cap is very clean with no brassing to the gold filled clip or cap band. Top of the cap dome has a very light impression. No major wear to cap finish. Aside from cap dome I don't see any other dents or dings. Pen is fitted with a Sheaffer Triumph 14k gold nib. Nib has a fine point and is firm.

The TD filling system has been completely restored and is in working order. Pen has been tested to ensure proper operation and functionality. Overall, pen is in excellent condition.

Shows some signs of use and general age, but no heavy wear or defects. Some light scratches and marks to the plastic barrel. If you have any questions do not hesitate to message me. Thank you and good luck!
