This is a Sheaffer Connaisseur Herringbone fountain pen c. 1991-1992. The Herringbone finish is model 815 and the pen begins as a black resin pen with a machine engraved alternating five line zigzag pattern. It's a 5 1/2 inch long cartridge / converter pen with an 18 karat gold nib stamped SHEAFFER'S over 18K and 750 over MADE IN USA. The pen has 23 karat gold electroplated trim including bands near the rounded ends of the cap and barrel, a double band on the section, a single band near the nib, and a double ring cap band with Sheaffer's stamped on the front face. The Sheaffer White Dot is just above the ball end clip. The original retail price was $250. Matching ballpoint and rollerball pens were also made.
