About This Pen

The lowest level Sheaffer Dolphin in 1962-4, 500’s featured a black plastic barrel and matching section, stainless steel cap trim, and a diamond-shaped nib matched by a steel section overlay which made it look like the higher level Dolphins’ diamond-shaped inlaid nib. Like other Dolphins, it is 5 3/8” long capped. The barrel and section are quite clean after extensive restoration, but the clip has some pitting. It is a cartridge filler, and an empty cartridge is included. The nib is steel, either an extra fine or Sheaffer’s “accountant” model.
