Help with identifing a Touchdown model

Sunday at 03:10 PM

I just picked up this Sheaffer this week. It's of a pretty low quality, particularly the nib, with the slit being far off-centre...

Any ideas about would be appreciated.

Couldn’t find anything. Sorry. But it sure is pretty…

Is there any indication of the country of manufacture? If not, it could be a Sheaffer Imperial made in Brazil. The Brazilian Sheaffer Imperial Touchdown with short Triumph nib and gold plated cap and barrel is discussed in some FPN threads, but this version in polished chrome is new to me.

Thanks for the comments.

Unfortunately, there are no indications on the pen other than "SHEAFFER °" on the cap edge and "SHEAFFER" across the nib.

I checked the Mercadolibre Brazil website, and the same Sheaffer Touchdown with chrome cap & barrel, short Triumph nib and no white dot can be seen in these auctions:

It seems that there was also an accompanying ballpoint:

Edit: I noticed that the above links may not work properly. They do work if they are manually copied and pasted into your search bar. The pens can be found also by searching for 'caneta sheaffer cromada' on https://produto.mercadolivre.com.br
