Need help to ID this pen

Recommended Posts

I was given two pens recently that a friend found in a box of books she bought at an auction.  One is a Parker 21, the other I am trying to identify.  I think it's a Sheaffer 440 but I'm not sure.  Can anyone confirm this or otherwise ID it for me?  It came without a cartridge or converter so I'm also wondering if the current piston converter from Sheaffer will fit it.  The pen itself is in good condition although the cap has a lot of dents and scratches.  I'm dying to ink it up and try it.  TIA.

I don't frequent the Sheaffer forum, but it's probably a good place for your pictures.

 

eta:  Try dribbling a little water into the back of the section while point down over the sink.  If it comes out the point, I'd be willing to put a cartridge on the back and putting it to use.

I have a very similar Sheaffer 330 which is essentially the same pen with the plastic version of the cap. It fits the Sheaffer converters currently on sale...as well as the current Sheaffer cartridges.

Its indeed sheaffer 440, with upturned weaverly nib which is a wonderful experience to write with. 

Both sheaffer cartridge and convertor fits well. enjoy writing
