【Features】Released in 1959 as a fountain pen for men, the Pen For Men (PFM). The V features a gold-filled cap and a resin body with a 14k gold nib. It is characterized by Sheaffer's unique snorkel filling system and an inlaid nib where the nib and section are integrated. The nib tip curves upwards, and the touch is firm. The thick barrel and the weight of the metal cap feel comfortable in the hand, making it very easy to hold. *There is a dent on the cap and a small amount of iridium remaining on the nib, but there are no issues with use. (Reflected in the selling price)

*The last photo is of a different product, but please use it as a reference for the filling method below.

【Snorkel Filling Method】

Turn the blind cap to the left. At the same time, the snorkel extends from the nib. Once fully turned, pull the blind cap back. Dip the extended snorkel into the ink bottle. Push the blind cap in quickly. This action collapses the rubber sac inside the barrel. When fully pushed in, air enters the barrel, and the rubber sac returns to its original shape, drawing ink into the sac. Wipe the nib and section well, then turn the blind cap to the right, and the snorkel will retract.
