Step into the golden age of American penmanship or perhaps a more refined quadrant of the galaxy, with this classic Sheaffer Balance fountain pen, a full-length standard girth (.46") model in elegant black. Appointed with a gold-plated cap band and clip, this lever-filler shows just a whisper of wear to its trim, it's cosmic patina earned over light-years of use. The firm clip gleams like a docking bay beacon, while the clear barrel imprint and only minor surface signs of use reflect its graceful orbit through time.  Anchoring the pen is a stellar two-tone 14k gold Feather Touch No. 5 nib in medium, with crisp stamping and ample tipping ready to chart smooth trajectories across any page. Cleaned, refitted with a new ink sac, tested, and ready for launch, this pen is mission-ready for collectors and daily writers alike.
