Sheaffer Ring Top Self Filling – Good Flex
This is a Sheaffer black chased hard rubber ring top pen. The hard rubber is faded a little to a lighter shade of black. The cap does have a tinge of brown in it. Imprints and chasing are fairly crisp. Gold filled trim looks very good. There are a few dings on the cap, but almost no brassing on the cap or lever. The 14kt. #2 Sheaffer Self-filling nib is a great writer (it is especially good with small writing) with some nice flex. I graded it “good flex,” but it is borderline super flex. It just lacks a bit in the ease of flex, but it does have some nice responsiveness. A great portable flex pen with a nice XF nib.
