Sweet. Lately I've developed a yen for the sterling silver models, beginning with an 834

Is there any hope - any hope at all - of repair?

Fascinating stuff. The photos are very compelling. Even if it turns out to not have come from Parker, it's a very cool barrel and looks decently made. (But I've a soft spot for VPs). Very nice find!

High shipping costs? See 'em all the time - I'm in Singapore. Small city-state south of Malaysia. Not many vintage pens

Thanks for posting! Not much info online about Australian-made Sheaffers so this really helps

Characters read "Wing Sung” (Yong3 Sheng1 in hanyupinyin). Still in business.
Check out the ad in this Chinese article. It also offers a brief history of well-known China pen brands including Wing Sung: http://www.zgsc2001.com/zp/447.html

I can read the article. Am translating it in bits, whenever I can grab some spare time. Will update when I can.
