Hi,
Anyone know when the 1930's Sheaffer Balance lost the lever pin and gained the internal lever ring?
I'm guessing around 1931...
Thanks

If I said it once I may have said it a dozen times - fourth quarter 1930. That is from the Sheaffer archivist so there is documentation to support it - somewhere. The thing we don't know is if it was all at once or over a period of time/model lines.

Really? OK, Tom Franz was the archivist well known to those that know Sheaffer. Tom past on a couple - three years ago. I would say he emailed me around 9 years ago. I do not have a copy of that email though the exact date I published years ago - sometime in November, '30 I think.
