How a Sheaffer Legacy should look!

[Brooks803]

Recently I had a customer contact me to ask if I'd be able to breathe some new life into her old Sheaffer Legacy. I said I'd give it a try and here's what I came up with. I only had to make a new body so I decided to keep it in the Sheaffer family and used some of their vintage Serpentine cebloplast. She loved it and has already commissioned me for a total custom FP!














Thanks for looking!!

Dude!! Very nice! Beautiful finish and very nicely executed.

A before picture would be cool to see if you have one.

Jonathon,
Have you ever thought about what you are going to be when you grow up?

Based on what I have seen, my suggestion is that you might consider being a custom pen maker. This is just a thought, but somebody said : "We all gotta grow up sometime." Not sure if I believe that, or not.

I just wanted to compliment your work in a little different sort of way. If you do not want to grow up...that is OK too!:biggrin:

Keep on turnin'.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I didn't think to take a before pic, but here's a stock photo showing just what this one looked like before

Ya know...I'm still trying to figure that out :angel:

For now though I think I'll pursue that custom pen maker role and see where it takes me :biggrin:

Thanks for the refreshing outlook Steve!

Great material, and an outstanding restoration job.

 

[magier412]

Fantastic work (as usual)...

I'm still wishing you were closer to Seattle so I could come study at the feet of the Master.

 

[Dalecamino]

You did good Jonathon. I'm glad you kept it in the family :wink:

 

[wyone]

so basically you started with a Yugo and made a Ferrari out of it.

Beautiful pen Jonathon. I love the material.

What type of filler does it use?

My jaw literally dropped when I saw this pen. Amazing, amazing work! This is definitely a "WOW" pen that someone was looking for earlier. Very nice work Jonathon!

Thanks again everyone for the kind words!

Thanks Ron! It was a lot of fun to do. I've had my eye out for more of these to make for myself.

Beautiful pen Jonathon. I love the material.

What type of filler does it use?

Thanks Darrin! The original pen was a touchdown filler or converter. Luckily for me she only wanted the new body to use a converter so that's all it is.
