Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this vintage circa 1959 Sheaffer PFM IV Black Snorkel Fountain Pen & Stainless Chrome Cap with Gold Filled Trim. This fountain pen has been meticulously disassembled, cleaned, reassembled, and is now in excellent working and writing condition.

The PFM came in five principal models, varying by cap and trim color. What we have here is the PFM IV. 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 endplate, and a 14kt gold nib.

PFM V - Gold Filled cap and plastic barrel, gold-filled clip and plunger cap endplate, and a 14kt gold nib.

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition with no 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'S MADE IN U.S.A." This Sheaffer PFM IV measures 5 3/8" in length capped and 5 5/8" posted.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, section, and feed. Hand-polished the stainless chrome/gold plated cap, clip, and 14K Fine Nib. The Sheaffer White Dot is securely attached to the clip. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrel, cap, and blind cap to bring back the vibrancy and protect the material of the fountain pen. The Stainless Steel Cap with Gold Filled Clip and Cap Lip is in magnificent condition with no dings or dents. Installed a new rubber sac, o-ring, and point seal - all have been replaced with correct reproduction parts. This Sheaffer Pen has been disassembled, cleaned, and inspected for any defects before reassembling.

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 14K Inlay NIB has an Extra Fine/Fine point measuring roughly .44mm when measured with digital calipers. The NIB writes with an extra fine to fine line/stroke. In the writing sample provided, the NIB strokes/lines measure from .40mm to .56mm when measuring with digital calipers. 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 fills as it should. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Namiki Black Ink.

The Sheaffer PFM IV is a difficult PFM to source generally speaking. This Black PFM IV is ready to write or just add it to your writing arsenal collection. I would consider this Sheaffer PFM IV set to easily grade in Excellent Condition. Certainly, a collector-grade pen that is ready to write with or add to your writing arsenal collection!
