It has remained carefully stored in its original box since new and has never been inked, preserving its factory-fresh condition for the next collector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe translucent Mediterranean Blue resin is simply striking—clear, vibrant, and luminous, beautifully complemented by 23K gold-plated trim. The cap band is crisply stamped “SHEAFFER’S LEVENGER U.S.A.” The finish on both cap and barrel is flawless, free from nicks, chips, cracks, brassing, or repairs. The cap bears Sheaffer’s iconic White Dot, symbolizing the company’s lifetime guarantee, and secures firmly to the barrel. There are no monograms or personalizations. The pen measures approximately 5 5\/8 inches capped, 6 1\/2 inches posted, and weighs .82 ounces, offering a comfortable, balanced writing presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trim is 23K gold electroplated, all highly polished and exceptionally well preserved. The pen is fitted with a 14K solid gold Medium nib, measuring approximately 0.78mm when checked with digital calipers. The nib remains untouched by ink, maintaining its pristine New Old Stock status. As expected of Sheaffer’s Connaisseur line, the nib promises a smooth, confident writing experience once put into service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pen accepts Sheaffer cartridges or bottled ink via the included converter, which remains unused and ready for filling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded with the pen are the original factory box, two ink cartridges, the unused ink converter, the original plastic sleeve the pen came in, and Sheaffer literature. Everything included in this offering remains in great condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mediterranean Blue Connaisseur is a standout from Sheaffer’s late-1990s production—elegant, distinctive, and increasingly appreciated among collectors of modern Sheaffer writing instruments. This untouched example represents an opportunity to acquire a fully complete, never-inked specimen—equally suited for a curated collection or as a legacy-quality writing instrument to be enjoyed for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique Digger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48378253115598,"sku":"uqt1789855106384","price":185.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/2416\/6862\/files\/1998-sheaffer-connaisseur-mediterranean-blue-14k-med-nib-fountain-pen-never-inke_1.jpg?v=1789855110","url":"https:\/\/coverallseamw.shop\/products\/1998-sheaffer-connaisseur-mediterranean-blue-14k-med-nib-fountain-pen-never-inked","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
