I knew I'd forgotten to post this one. Or had I forgotten I'd known to post it. Or something...
A lucky find from the Chicago 2014 pen show.
The off-catalogue Sheaffer Balance cap-band called "Jeweler's" style by collectors was found in a wide and narrow form, both wider than the conventional catalogued smooth gold-filled cap-bands, the narrower form lacking cartouche for engraving found with the wider version.
Typically, the narrower version is found with pens both slender and low-tier.
This one though has that narrow Jeweler's style cap-band on a standard-girth pen with radius clip associated with higher-tier Balances. One of just a couple standard-diameter Balances I've seen with the narrow Jeweler's cap-band
