1948 Persian blue Sheaffer Tuckaway Valiant Deluxe - Vacuum-Fil - fine point

Please forgive the brief description and poor photos. Listing in preparation for SF Pen Show. ---- Persian blue pens were only made in 1948, 1949, and part of 1950. Some darkening of the ink view grip section. Ink level is still clearly viewable. The nib writes a smooth, wet fine line. The Vacuum-Fil system has been restored with modern, synthetic rubber that will last decades. Though small, the inner barrel ink chamber holds a surprising amount of ink. More than any modern ink cartridge. Length Capped - 114 mm (4.5”) Uncapped - 99 mm (3.9”) Posted - 134 mm (5.3”). Diameter Cap - 12 mm (0.47”) Barrel - 11.4 mm (0.45”) Filler Vacuum-Fil Nib Fine
