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 gray 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 stainless steel nib.
This VFM fountain pen cannot accept a converter; only standard international ink cartridges. The fountain pen comes in a gift box with a standard international ink cartridge, and warranty information included.
