Sheaffer Crest 23K Gold Electroplate From The 1996 Sheaffer Catalog

The 23 karat gold electroplate model bears a strong visual resemblance to the Sheaffer Snorkel Triumph, an all gold filled pen. It carries the strong engraved lines from the gold plated caps of the gold cap / laque models through the entire barrel. A handsome gift pen, introduced in 1992 and carried the length of the model life. It is the second highest priced pen in the line.
