Sheaffer Balance III Glossy Black CT Fountain pen

Sheaffer Balance III Glossy Black Fountain Pen

The Sheaffer Balance III Glossy Black Fountain Pen brings back one of the most important designs in Sheaffer’s history. Originally introduced in 1929, the Sheaffer Balance helped define a new era of fountain pen design with its distinctive tapered, cigar-shaped profile and smoothly rounded silhouette. Nearly a century later, the Balance III preserves this unmistakable character while introducing modern features for today’s fountain pen enthusiast.

Classic Sheaffer Design with a Modern Piston Filling System

Crafted from glossy black resin, the Sheaffer Balance III is available with elegant chrome-colored trim (CT) or sophisticated gold-plated trim (GT). The beautifully balanced shape sits comfortably in the hand, while a modern piston-filling mechanism provides a generous and convenient ink supply. A transparent ink window allows the remaining ink level to be checked easily, combining practical everyday functionality with the timeless appearance of this classic American writing instrument.

Large #6 Bi-Colour Stainless Steel Nib

The Sheaffer Balance III Glossy Black Fountain Pen features a larger #6 bi-colour stainless-steel nib, available in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium and Broad sizes. Heritage-inspired details connect the new Balance III with Sheaffer’s long history, including the traditional heart-shaped breather hole and Sheaffer’s founding year, 1913. Combining a substantial nib, piston filling system and carefully finished resin body, the Balance III offers a modern writing experience while remaining unmistakably Sheaffer.

About Sheaffer

The year: 1912. The place: Fort Madison, Iowa. Walter A. Sheaffer takes his grand idea of a pen-filling apparatus that utilizes a lever system and, with his life savings, founds the W.A. Sheaffer company. The physical space of the company is a modest one - the backroom of Mr. Sheaffer's jewelry store - but the vision of the company is much more than modest. Nearly a century later, we continue to offer generation after generation innovative, reliable and stylish writing instruments. These pens are used worldwide by loyal and diverse friends who appreciate elegance and class. We look back to the nostalgic past, to simpler times when a look in the eye and a hand shake was the norm. We look to the abundant future, by redefining the fashion of written communication in our technological world. You have a signature. And Sheaffer gives you the power to show the world what it is.
