An interesting pen for Sheaffer fans. Japanese pen giant Sailor made the Sentinel for Sheaffer in the 1980s.
The steel F-4 nib is a dead giveaway, and the sizing follows the Japanese. So while the nib has an “M” on it, it looks more like a Western F or XF.
When I first got it I didn’t notice the engraving on the cap: “AUPE BEST PERFORMANCE BR”.
What’s the AUPE? My guess is that it’s the Amalgamated Union of Public Employees. Ah, irony :p
Hello, I have one of these in Matte Black. The nib is gold “F” with the heart cutout. It does not have a cartridge or converter. Do you have any idea what would fit? I was thinking of trying to find an old slim Shaeffer or would Sailor cartridges fit? Thank you so much in advance for any advice.
Hi! Mmm… my guess is that you need a slim Sheaffer cartridge or a button converter. A good substitute would be the Monteverde mini converter. I doubt Sailor cartridges would fit.
Sorry but I sold the pen a while ago so I can’t verify the cartridge size. Good luck!
Hi Jean, Can you use cartridges Sailor, I’ve tried it and go perfectly.
Sailor cartridges can use, I’ve tried it and go perfectly.
