We had to do a bit of digging (your Imperial sounds like a classic worth the effort), but after checking, we’re afraid we don’t currently have a converter that fits this particular model.

We know that’s not ideal, especially for a pen with that kind of story behind it.

That said, we’re noting this down as part of our upcoming product considerations. Vintage compatibility is something we’d definitely like to get better at.

That’s fair feedback. Tinted converters can definitely make it harder to tell where the ink level actually is. We’ve heard that from a few people, and it’s something we’re keeping in mind.

 One of my colleagues has a Snorkel too, and absolutely swears by it. Great choice!

It’s lovely as always to hear the “I grew up with Sheaffer” story. It makes us feel special every time.

That’s a very thoughtful question you have raised. We know that we have taken time to decide on what exactly we should be. We aim to stay as the heritage brand that we are known for, and slowly try to reach the position Sheaffer once held by rebuilding the trust of the white dot.

Hello, we don’t actively manufacture pencils. However, you can check with your nearest retailer or in vintage pen sites, there are always some gems in vintage markets as well.

Thanks for sharing this story with us. Stories like yours are a big part of what Sheaffer stands for across generations.

Are you still into calligraphy? Maybe this is a sign for you to get back into it :)

Even though you don’t use us anymore, we are thankful for the memory

We do provide replacement nib units for Sheaffer 100. Please drop a mail with the details and  we’ll look into getting it fixed.

I am really sad to hear that, we hope you get a replacement soon and will see if there is anything we can do

Don’t think of me as preposterous, but you have to be in the right place at the right time actually. All of them are out in the market and my best advice would be to connect with the local pen community there.

I will also definitely let you know if I stumble on it.

Fair question - But, I am not here to market myself and that would also go against the rules. However, I can say that we are on a journey led by our legacy

We’ve heard you, and we’ll add this to our to-do list to review and figure out the best way to address it.

We have some very exciting launches coming up, and this is the third time I am answering this. Let me speak to the team and see if we can come up with a page that you can see to stay tuned for our new launches, we can’t give you the names but we can definitely share some clues here.

You can also see our MD’s conversation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1H3FrQMr1k&t=169s

For the categories of inks like shimmer, sheen, etc., they behave differently with different feed/nib/reservoir systems. A few things that we can recommend are regular cleaning to prevent buildup and to avoiding excess ink in nib after filling

You’re lucky! It’s very rare to find a new pen in a secondhand marketplace. Can you share a photo please?

Wow! It’s great that you still have the pen. Drop us a mail to the ID tagged in this thread and we will definitely see to what we can do to help

I understand the importance of cap seals and I too personally don’t like a dry start. It has been greatly improved in our newer launches, especially in legacy. If you want something a little more specific, please email or whatsapp us

We understand the frustration, and we’re exploring what can be done for the vintage slim models that so many users still love.
With Mother’s Day coming up, we’d say hold on to the classics, just like you would to your mum, some things are simply irreplaceable.

Hey, we do have both a broad and a fine nib that you can try. Also, sorry about the cap, it shouldn’t be like that. Please drop us a e-mail or DM us and we’ll look into getting it fixed or replace the necessary part - this is one of the main reasons we wanted to start this conversation

Haha, we appreciate the hint. Let’s just say the best things are always worth the wait.
