No.         Description
Row H: Sheaffer’s Pen For Men (PFM), introduced in the late 1950s, is a large pen with an inlaid nib and a beefier version of the Snorkel filling mechanism that is found in Thin Model ™ ™ Snorkels introduced in the early 1950s. The PFM follows Sheaffer’s tradition of developing a sound, basic pen and offering progressively more expensive models with more costly caps, a 14K gold inlaid nib, gold-fill trim, or a lifetime guarantee. In any configuration, the PFM is a handsome pen. Certain colors (like gray) and less easily found nibs (like a stub) add value to any PFM. The PFM IV (steel cap with gold-fill trim) is more difficult to find than the V (plastic barrel with gold-fill cap) and is often more expensive to acquire even though the PFM V originally cost more. Pens presented below are in very nice condition: no significant wear to pocket clip or trim. No names or initials on caps or barrels. There may be light surface scratches on metal caps suggesting light use. If there is a ding or a flaw, I will do my best to point it out. They all have either Extra-Fine or Fine nibs, perhaps a Medium or two. Nothing exotic.
