, shown on the patent that protected the design. This photo is featured in the spring Pennant article SHEAFFER DESIGN PATENTS by Roger Wooten, where he investigates the variety of Sheaffer design patents. The Sheaffer PFM III has a solid color injection molded plastic cap and barrel. The clip and trim are gold filled. The large Inlaid nib is 14 karat gold. The plastic cap PFM pens have a strong taper in the cap band as opposed to the straight ended metal cap pens. Sheaffer used the Inlaid nib as a symbol for this pen on packaging of the PFM and other Inlaid nib pens such as the Compact and Imperial pens.
