Sheaffer Snorkel - one happy boy here!

[rockviper]

Just arrived in the mail today, my new (to me) Sheaffer Snorkel. It came courtesy of a WTB placed in the BST. I am one freaking happy camper today, for sure!
It's simply stunning

Go Go Gadget Snorkel!

What looks like some scuffing in the close-ups of the nib shots are not visible when I examine it up close, so it's probably my cheap camera.

F5 nib

Up periscope!

Very nice Sam!
A "Sheaffer" snorkel is totally not a real snorkel. I knew that!

 

[Dave258]

Congrats Sam, enjoy your beautiful new pen!

 

[Mr5x5]

Beautiful pen!

that this is cool, nice pen Sam remember not to show people how it works when you have ink in it

 

[rockviper]

From what I can tell, this would be a Sentinel with the F5 indicating a Triumph nib, yes?

The middle pic of the nib (the one with the F5 showing) depicts the feed slight off-center. It doesn't seem to affect the writing or ink flow and I'm not going to play with it and whack out this beauty.

Is this the voice of experience talking again?

Congrats. They're fun pens, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Which reminds me... I need to get my snorkel restored sooner or later since it died recently.

 

[airmech]

Curses!!! Just rekindled my intrest in getting one. That is a good looking pen, Sam.

Congratulations Sam.

 

[rockviper]

Congratulations Sam.

It's all your fault, my friend; going right back to me winning a FP PIF from you.
BTW the Kaweco Sport is still my workhorse, but that might change now

Love my Kaweco Sport.

That's a beautiful pen! Of all the vintage pens I've seen so far, the Sheaffer Snorkel models are the most interesting to me.. that filling system just looks so sweet! Looks like she writes beautifully.

Another pen for the list.
