Imperial VI - The Imperial VI brought the subtle charm of the PFM IV to the Imperial line. Often mistaken for a chrome plated cap, the highly polished white metal cap is actually stainless steel, and surprisingly heavy. Sheaffer began using stainless steel caps on pens in the 1940s and up until 1959, any White Dot pen with a stainless steel cap was called a Sentinel. The Imperial VI is less common than the IV or the VIII and is prized by many collectors. The Imperial VI model was continued as a Lifetime pen and revived shortly afterward.
西华将PFM IV 引入帝国系列，便诞生了Imperial VI。帝国VI通常被误解成镀鉻笔帽，实际上是打磨光滑的不锈钢笔帽，重量不轻。西华不锈钢笔帽墨水笔主要在1940年代到1959年间生产，白点西华墨水笔被称为哨兵笔款。帝国VI不如帝国IV和帝国VIII常见，但被很多收藏家所偏爱。后期的终生笔款曾短暂复活过。
1961年帝国VI单钢笔售价是17.50美元（帝国IV是12.50美元），配套的铅笔是7.50美元（帝国IV是5.00美元），钢笔+铅笔套笔是25美元（帝国IV是17.50美元）。
