About the Sheaffer Legacy

The Sheaffer Legacy: Back and Better Than Ever

Just like a vintage car brought back with a new engine under the hood, the Sheaffer Legacy Fountain Pen returns — sleek, powerful, and better than ever. This iconic model, once a favorite among collectors and writers alike, is making its comeback with a modern upgrade. Featuring the signature inlaid nib and a timeless black finish paired with either chrome trim or a chrome cap and 14kt PVD gold trim, the Legacy blends heritage craftsmanship with contemporary style.

A Return to Form
First introduced in the 1990s, the Sheaffer Legacy was designed as a tribute to the brand’s storied past—most notably, the groundbreaking inlaid nib first developed in the 1950s. Blending vintage inspiration with modern performance, the Legacy quickly became a favorite among pen enthusiasts for its smooth writing experience and distinctive, sculptural design.

Note: The Sheaffer Legacy fountain pen includes a fountain pen ink converter for use with fountain pen safe bottled inks. Sheaffer pens use proprietary ink cartridges and converters.

I was somewhat skeptical of this initial reissue of a classic Sheaffer design since coming under new management, but one does not have to be concerned. This pen is a classic design, and is very well made with fit & finish near flawless. This initial reissue only comes in Black and with a Medium point nib size, but I'm sure given time there will be a wider selection to make the pen more appealing. Though it doesn't come with a Gold nib, the writing experience with the Steel nib is near as good as many of my vintage Sheaffer's. It has a snap cap that has a satisfying click when capping the pen, and has kept the pen from drying out. I think it is a pen worthy of carrying on the Sheaffer Legacy (pun intended).
