Sheaffer Lifetime Balance in pearl & black - Medium Italic nib

Regular price £245.00

A medium sized (136mm capped) USA Lifetime Balance with almost original pearl & black colouring. Colour wise, this is one of the best pearl & black pens we have seen for some time

With the earlier ball clip, this dates from around 1930. At some stage, possibly when imported to the UK, it's been fitted with a Canadian Lifetime 14k gold stub italic nib with full UK assay import hallmarks for 1932.  Barrel imprints are very crisp.

The only defect is a hairline crack about 1cm to the left of the clip and white dot - see the photo of the cap. This won't affect the pen's functioning at all, and the clip fitting is very secure - 1930

Condition B/1m Italic - (Ref 12542)

We have fully serviced this pen which includes disassembling the pen and ultrasonically cleaning all the parts.  We then reassemble the pen and fit the correct size of new ink sac, check the ink flow and the smoothness of the nib.  We also check and adjust the tightness and positioning of the clip. 

This pen comes with our normal 12 month warranty.  We keep a detailed record of each customer's purchases so if you need to call us, we will have all the information here to answer any query
