Founded in Iowa in 1912, Sheaffer has been producing quality writing instruments for over a hundred years. We are now pleased to offer fine fountain pens from this American-founded company known for excellent craftmanship and smooth-writing nibs. Sheaffer's Legacy Heritage line combines timeless elegance with modern style. Featuring the exclusive inlaid nib, a Sheaffer original design from 1959, in 18k gold in Fine, Medium, or Broad, this pen is a model of form and function.
Intricate barleycorn guilloché engraving weaves its way down the cap and barrel of the Sheaffer Legacy Heritage Sterling Silver Barleycorn with Gold Trim fountain pen, while the wide gold cap band makes a bold presence. With a mix of classic and contemporary style, this Sheaffer fountain pen is an excellent choice for an everyday writer.
Repetition of the guilloché pattern interspersed with solid bars of sterling silver makes for an elegant, streamlined look.
The trademark Sheaffer inlaid nib accentuates the sleek lines of this pen, while the Sheaffer White Dot is seen on the top of the spring-loaded clip.
22k gold plate trim adds a rich tri-color element that contrasts with the surrounding silver and black.
With a closed length of 5.4" and a barrel width of .5", this is a full-sized, well-balanced pen. The Sheaffer Legacy Heritage is a pen for those who prefer a writing instrument with a bit of heft, as it weighs in at 40.2 grams. The well-engineered clutch cap adds to the ease of use.
Note the precision demonstrated in the etched barleycorn detail above - this pattern accentuates both the aesthetic and tactile pleasures of this pen. Legacy Heritage fountain pens can use Sheaffer-brand cartridges, or can be filled with any bottled fountain pen inkusing the included converter.
Take a look at the engraving detail on the wide gold-plated band. To the right you can see the "925 Sterling" verification, and to the left the "Sheaffer" name.
The Sheaffer Legacy Heritage Sterling Silver Barleycorn Pattern Gold Trim Fountain Pen is available with your choice of 18k solid yellow gold nib in Fine, Medium, or Broad.
These 18k nibs are well-suited to customizations such as Cursive Italic and Left Oblique - see our nib customizations page for more information.
Each pen is packaged in a leatherette-lined Legacy gift box.
