July 6, 2021 by admin | Filed under rare.For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Never Inked Sheaffer Crest White Dot Limited Edition CP2 Pushkin Sterling Silver Fountain Pen fitted with an 18K Solid Gold Nib. This fountain pen has never been inked, does not come with the original box, documentation – I consider this pen New Old Stock and Mint Condition. This Limited Edition Fountain Pen is the second limited edition from Classic Pens (CP) and is series CP2. It was a cooperation between Classic Pens, Sheaffer and Pushkin Prizes, a literary awards program for children in Ireland presided over by the Duchess of Abercorn, descendant of Aleksandr Pushkin, the founding father of modern Russian literature. The CP2 series was launched in 1993 and consisted of a limited edition of 500 pens. The CP2 pens are therefore are very exclusive, scarce, and desirable. The CP2 Crest is fully covered in sterling silver. It was offered in a single world wide edition of 500 pens in an elaborate Barleycorn pattern. The Crest replicates the elegant design of the Sheaffer esteemed Snorkel pen of the 1950s. The pens are laser engraved on the cap banding with the CP2 logo and the individual limited edition number. This CP2 is a Prototype example which does not carry the limited edition number and this is how you are able to determine if the CP2 was a prototype or not. This Sheaffer Crest CP2 Pushkin displays a beautiful Sterling Silver barleycorn pattern with 23K Gold Electroplated Clip fitted with a solid 18K/750 gold nib. The cap and barrel have absolutely no damage, dents, wear to the finish. The cap is always securing tightly to the barrel. The trim is perfect with no scratches or brassing. This fountain pen has never been inked and in Mint Condition. This Fountain Pen measures 5 5/8″ inches capped and 6 1/4″ posted. The cap is laser engraved with the stanza in original Russian and Aleksandr Pushkin’s signature. The stanza is one of Pushkin’s most favorite phrases and the translates to:’AND FINGERS YEARN FOR PEN, PEN FOR PAPER, A MOMENT… AND VERSES FREELY FLOW. This writing instrument is a Sheaffer Crest CP2 Pushkin Fountain Pen and a Prototype and does not carry the Limited Edition numbering on the cap banding. This Sheaffer has the Ink Converter Filling system and works as it was designed to – I tested with water and works perfectly. Or one can use Sheaffer ink cartridges. The nib is marked 18K Sheaffer 750 and has a Medium point measuring. 68mm when measuring with digital calipers. This Sheaffer 18K/750 Medium Nib shows no signs of ever being inked.
