Sheaffer Prelude Signature A9170 Engraved Silver Plated with GT Rollerball Pen

With this new, more upscale Prelude, Sheaffer introduces a new "arrow" style stamped stainless steel nib with a version of the vintage "Sheaffer's" logo stamped on them. Parker collectors will immediately see the similarity with recent Parker nib designs. This will be a third version of the nib design, with a scrolled style being the most common, and a plainer "S" logo nib offered in the early 2000s. Sheaffer has not announced available nib grades, but current Prelude models offer fine, medium and broad. The cap top "jewel" also appears to have the Sheaffer logo stamped on it, replacing the previous pearlized insert. I personally think the two-tone gold plated nib looks really sharp.
