Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this vintage circa 1960 Sheaffer PFM V Snorkel Black Fountain Pen that has been restored. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, and put back together and is now in excellent operating and writing condition. 

The PFM came in five principal models, varying by cap and trim color. What we have here is the PFM V. The PFM models are below for your reference:

PFM I - Single color plastic cap and barrel, polished stainless steel clip and cap band, and palladium silver nib. The PFM I is the only model without the White Dot.

PFM II - Frosted stainless steel cap and plastic barrel, polished stainless steel clip and cap band, and palladium silver nib.

PFM III - Single color plastic cap and barrel, gold-filled clip and cap band, and a 14kt gold nib.

PFM IV - Stainless steel cap and plastic barrel, gold-filled clip and plunger cap end plate, and a 14kt gold nib.

PFM V - Gold plated cap and plastic barrel, gold-filled clip and plunger cap end plate, and a 14kt gold nib.

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition with no dings, dents, chips, cracks, teeth marks, or repairs. There are no monograms or personalizations on either the cap or barrel of the fountain pen. The fountain pen cap lip is stamped with, "SHEAFFER R.D. 1960 - MADE IN CANADA." This Sheaffer PFM V measures 5 3/8" in length capped and 5 5/8" posted.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, section, and feed. Hand polished the gold plated cap, trim, and 14K Medium Nib. There is absolutely no wear on the cap or blind cap endplate. The Sheaffer White Dot is securely attached to the clip. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrel and blind cap to bring back the vibrancy and protect the material of the fountain pen. Installed a new sac, o-ring, and point seal - all have been replaced with the correct reproduction parts. This Sheaffer Pen has been disassembled, cleaned, and inspected for any defects before reassembling.

The Sheaffer 14K Inlay NIB has a medium point measuring roughly .63mm when measured with digital calipers. The NIB writes with a medium line/stroke. In the writing sample provided, this NIB stroke measures from .60mm to .86mm when measured with a digital caliper. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. I have tested the filling mechanism with water and it fills as it should. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Montblanc Blue Ink. The nib on this Sheaffer PFM writes very smoothly!

The PFM has the Snorkel Touchdown Filling System. We replaced the point seal, o-ring, and added a new rubber sac. The snorkel tube moves freely and the Touchdown filling system draws ink as it should.

Sheaffer PFM V Fountain Pens are hard to find that are clean and this one oozes class and sophistication. This one has the 1960/Made in Canada imprint on the cap lip which is an uncommon variant for collectors trying to find anomalies. I would consider this Sheaffer PFM V set to easily grade in Excellent+ condition and certainly a collector-grade pen that is ready to write with or add to your writing arsenal collection!
