I love the vintage Sheaffer flat-tops and have 30+ in my collection, The "Connaisseur" was launched about 1885 and offered through the mid-1990s to update the earlier flat-tops. The Levenger people offered essentially the same pen in the late 1990s in different colors. I recently purchased at Ozark Pen a burgundy Connaisseur with a broad nib, beautifully engraved. It is Made in USA and nearly unscratched. It's the best signature pen I've acquired--and the cap stays posted. The price was excellent and the pen arrived in four days. Good pen, great service.
