Since the first introduction of the Sheaffer Lifetime pen on the market, it has by leaps and bounds become the best known and most acceptable pen to all those who appreciate line writing instruments. There is no indefinite or implied guarantee on the Lifetime pen, for besides the guarantee against defects of construction and material, the entire nib is unconditionally guaranteed for life against anything that can happen except total and permanent loss. The large, well balanced pen fits the hand perfectly affording an easy grip for the lingers and allows unlimited writing without tiring or cramping. The nib is made in its entirety, from raw gold to the completed point, in Sheaffer laboratories. Rolled, stamped, raised, slit, and ground by expert lapidarian, this nib passes through severe inspections at every stage of its construction. The writing point is a perfect ball of iridium. The white dot in the cap of all Lifetime pens, or in the end of the barrel of Lifetime pens with rings, is the distinctive trademark of the pen. Wherever you see a white dot in the end of a pen, you will know it is a Sheaffer Lifetime.
