Unique Sheaffer’s Balance – Gregg Shorthand Pen! http://gregminuskin.com/?p=9186 http://gregminuskin.com/?p=9186#comments Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:29:50 +0000 GregMinuskin http://gregminuskin.com/?p=9186 Continue reading →]]> Have you ever seen one of these?

I have never seen one, and I don’t think you have either!

This is a Sheaffer’s Lever Fill “gregg shorthand” pen, for the nib is specially designed for short hand use, and hence, the pen is marked with a special symbol on the barrel, isn’t that cool?

I found this out by doing some research on the symbol and asking a few friends of mine what it could mean, and then I was told the reason for the special markings!

This pen is restored, new ink sac, but not polished for I don’t want to ruin the markings. Notice the visulated section is in great shape, and ready to go for only $60.00 plus shipping! Email me at greg@gregminuskin.com and get this pen today!

Mr. Michael Sull; the undisputed master of the pointed pen/calligraphic hand.

Michael Sull and I are good friends, and he has been our special guest here at hour home for up to a two weeks at a time, teaching here, and giving my wife Janet special, one on one instructions on improving her hand. Somedays, for Michael to take a break, I take Michael on a day road trip, showing him around our local attractions just to get out. I also do most of Michael’s special nibs, a true honor to be his “Nibmeister” for his special work.

Enjoy the photos of the envelope below!
