Not Telling
Daniel,
I like your theory better than mine and yours has a more solid basis. If you still have the stickered barrel I'd love to see a pic. Thanks for the input.

Phil,
Purely speculation but maybe it was a possible infringement of the Hallmark name as used by Hallmark Jewelers. Here's a newspaper ad from the 12-12-1917 issue of the Chillicothe (MO) Constitution.
As I said, just speculation but in 1917 the Kraker Pen Company was still involved in the ongoing suit with Sheaffer. Since the pens above had to have been made after 10-3-1916 (the date patent 1,199,993 was issued), the timing seems right.

Thanks to Daniel K. who provided this ad to me back in 2006.

In Topic: Sheaffer Connaisseur 1st vs 2nd Type?

David,
I believe someone is using the designations I gave cap bands and clips in the Pennant article I authored a while back. The first cap bands were unmarked and clips were imprinted "Sheaffer". The second style had unmarked clips and "Sheaffer " in block letters while the third style had "Sheaffer's" in italic and the band extended to the cap lip. Here's the photo I did to illustrate.
eBay sellers have been adopting my designations and implying that one type is worth more than another.
Hope this helps.

David,
Might as well post my pic here for all. Section on all Connaisseurs is black.
