Sheaffer Sagaris - Images Of The Fountain Pens

[PenHero]

Fellow Collectors,

 

The Sheaffer Sagaris is due to be released at the end of October. We are expecting to receive advance pens for photos later this week and will post an update.

 

The company description is that the Sagaris will be a light-weight, slim pen, designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. The overall profile, characterized by a tapered cap and barrel, will remind you of the Imperial and Triumph pen lines that began in the early 1960s and continued through many variations through the late 1990s. The Sagaris will have an open steel nib, instead of the Inlaid nib seen on many of those pens.

 

The Sagaris will be available in seven finishes in fountain pen, roller ball and ballpoint modes.

 

 

Fountain pen models and pricing will be:

 

Gloss Black with Silver Trim Fountain Pen - Model: 9470-0 - $60

Gloss Black with Gold Trim Fountain Pen - Model: 9471-0 - $75

Brushed Chrome with Silver Trim Fountain Pen - Model: 9472-0 - $60

Brushed Chrome with Gold Trim Fountain Pen - Model: 9473-0 - $75

Fluted Gold Tone Cap and Barrel Fountain Pen - Model: 9474-0 - $90

Black Barrel Chrome Cap Fountain Pen - Model: 9475-0 - $75

Gloss wine with Silver Trim Fountain Pen - Model: 9476-0 - $60

 

When we get the sample pens we will post a complete review.

 

Check back for a link to a more detailed press release on our website, showing all the models, plus close-up and manufacturer "beauty" shots.

 

The line will be available at all Sheaffer dealers.

Very "Cross" like.

Very "Cross" like.

Indeed, but also more Sheaffer like than the Taranis.

[Silvermink]

The overall design is inoffensive enough, but doesn't really get my blood pumping. I do like the nibs with the gold "cheeks", though.

I Love Sheaffer FP's.They might reintroduce their Vac pens.

[Ernst Bitterman]

I was distracted initially by what looks to be a very comfortable transition from section to barrel, but now that there's a good look at the point, I'm a fan at a distance. I find Art Deco very hard to resist.

[davefoe]

I think the new line looks beautiful . . . a great update of the Triumph or Imperial. Can't wait to buy one or two and especially the wine color. That's a great color and it's wonderful to see that come back. Very enthused. The ballpoints look pretty too.

[MES]

I'm glad Sheaffer is coming out with a model that looks like the old Imperials. I like them. Now I hope at some point Sheaffer would put out some pen versions of the Sagaris for types like us that think pens of the 1960s were the classic design: brushed chrome cap with colored barrels.

Why no mechanical pencil? A set is not complete without an MP!!

Why no mechanical pencil? A set is not complete without an MP!!

 

I haven't bothered to look at Sheaffer mechanical pencils for many years so forgive me if I have missed something about the newer models that has changed. My Sheaffer MPs are from the 1960-1979 era, all came to me in Imperial sets. The 0.7 leads are too thick compared to the fine and extra fine FPs in the same sets. The lead chaning system is, umm, archaic and clumsy.

 

I'd not buy another.

 

I'm still trying to figure out if I can possibly move a superior mechanical pencil system, say, from Pentel, into the nicer matching Sheaffer barrel. Does not look possible.

[PenHero]

I would love to see a mechanical pencil, and am sorry to say that they are gradually being retired from several models.

 

I don't know Sheaffer's reasoning, but in terms of interest that we see as a dealer, multifunction pen/pencils greatly outsell pure mechanical pencils. We sell very few pure mechanical pencils.

 

Other dealers may want to chime in.

 

If they don't sell, manufacturers will slow down rolling out new ones.

We got the Sagaris pre-release pens today - photos this weekend!

Geez, no inlaid nib.... I'm bored. Call me old-fashioned, but the absence of the inlaid nib makes it "just another" FP.

[mrcharlie]

I'd rather they used the conical nib from the older Imperials. I would definitely buy one if they did that.

[MES]

I hope this model sells well enough to encourage Sheaffer to bring out some additional pen color options in the near future.

[JeanManuel]

Where will it be made?

[PenHero]

Where will it be made?

 

As this is a lower price model, it will probably be made in China, as is the Prelude and Agio.

I am interested in the complete review.

Where can i find the review?

It also appears that the pen is not available with gold trim in the wine colour?

I think a metallic red is also now available?
