Sheaffer Ebonized Pearl Balance with Flexible Lifetime Nib

Here’s a Sheaffer short standard lever-filling Balance — that’s a D74VC, for you serious Sheaffer collectors — sporting a scarce flexible nib. There’s a personalization on the barrel, but the color of the pearl chips is outstanding; they don’t show the ambering so often seen in this material. That long-tined flexible nib gives 1.0mm of spread with 450g of 45-degree pressure. Unrestored.
