New Triumph Imperials at Arcamax???
Here's the ad.
http://arcamax.com/cgi-bin/shop?cat=...&offer=cs11418 I didn't think Sheaffer made Triumph nibs anymore. Is this Arcamax making a mistake? Or are there new in box Triumphs still around? If so, I'll take 5 of them. |

If so, I'll take 5 of them.******* BTW, Sheaffer'Ss last incursion in triumph nibs was with the re-edition of the Crest in the 90's. And I'm sure that they fitted the new pens with a stock of early made triumph nibs, as by the 90's Sheaffer had lost the machinery (not using it or being dismantled as nobody there knew what were them made for), and the workers with the skill to do the disgusting twelve steps needed to make the nib and the four needed to fit them to the pen had been retired. This so called Triumph Imperials don't have the Triumph Conical nib, but the PFM Inlaid nib that went after it's introduction to fit the first Imperials (still with the Touchdown Filling System) and the Targa. The denomination "Imperial Triumph" for this cheaper pen is ridiculous, as sounds as a high end one, but you must think who managed Sheaffer'S from the early 80s. You will find here a nice goldplated or chrome plated nib, and a silver plated cap in some cases. Not true gold nor true silver. But they are the last well-crafted dependable pens that Sheaffer'S made. Just to clarify some terms in this forum that has been always in the technical-historical side of fountain pens. Best regards, Nicolás BTW, If there is any penfriend that wants to give a little happiness to my wounded Sheafferer'S soul, and can buy for me all the models available in this Arcamax sale and ship them to Madrid, I'll we be very obliged to her/him. No joking, I'll pay all costs and send the benefactor a Jet Black and Blue (discontinued) American Skrip ink bottles as sign of my eternal recognition. |
