Sheaffer VFM Fountain Pen - Matte Blue/Black Ombre
Vibrant. Fun. Modern. The sleek tapered profile of the Sheaffer VFM has an almost aerodynamic quality, and comes in a variety of finishes to suit any taste.
This matte navy blue to black ombré lacquered fountain pen is complemented by sleek matte black trim. It features a satisfying snap cap that posts securely onto the back of the barrel when writing. The clip features a Sheaffer White Dot, the trademark symbol of writing excellence. It comes with a black steel nib.
Unlike other Sheaffer pen models, the VFM accepts a standard international converter or cartridges. The fountain pen comes in a gift box with a standard international converter, ink cartridge, and warranty information included.
