I am new to Sheaffer - my specialities are Mabie Todd and Onoto. I am grateful for the advice I received about my Balance pen. This time the question concerns an Australian Snorkel, wide cap band and single colour barrel nib. I have had one or two Snorkels in the past, but this one has surprised me: the nib is truly full-flex, something I never expected to find on a Sheaffer - especially a Snorkel. Are such nibs uncommon? Thanks in advance. Cob
