Description from Nathaniel

Parker cornered the market on orange pens in the 1920s and '30s. Vintage orange Sheaffer pens are much less common to find. Our Sheaffer 5-30 is a long, slender beauty of a vintage pen, even if it has a fair amount of shallow bite marks in the tail end. Our vintage pen is fully restored with a new ink sac. No cracks and minimal brassing. The pocket clip is the straight and flat type. Best of all, this pen has a semi-flex nib made of 14k gold, defining it as a Sheaffer 5-30. You can write a normal fine line fairly easily, but with a little gentle practice you can write an extra-fine to roughly .75mm wide line. It is the perfect pen for daily writing and for getting a little fancy.  13.3cm capped.
