<div class="msgheader">QUOTE:</div><div class="msgborder"><b>以下是引用<i>glaciers</i>在2007-12-28 10:42:15的发言:</b><br/><p>已经说过两个上水方式是一样的,都可以用TD上水外和用卡式上水。</p></div><p>再挖了一下FPN,果然是我看错了。附上详细Legacy系列比较:</p><p>* The Legacy 2 has an integral touchdown filling mechanism and the Heritage has had this feature deleted and replaced with a far cheaper piston converter.<br/>* The Legacy 2 has its barrel chamber sealed with an o-ring gasket, which effectively prevents any ink leakage from the pens barrel chamber. This is a consideration if your pen may be subject to changes in atmospheric pressure as frequenly occurs during air travel. The Heritage model lacks this o-ring seal as its piston filler does not require the control of air pressure in the barrel chamber and it probably saves Sheaffer/Bic a few cents to omit it.<br/>* The Legacy 2 has a MSRP $75 higher than the Heritage.<br/>* Legacy and Legacy 2 from 1995-2004 had an MSRP of $275.00.<br/>* Legacy Heritage 2005 MSRP was $200.00.<br/>* The Heritage model is only offered with fine or medium size nib. <br/><br/>The Legacy Heritage is still undoubtedly an exceptionally fine writing instrument but be aware, it has been produced with changes that make its manufacture more economical and which sacrifice some of the unique features of its predecessor. <br/><br/> roduced in limited numbers the Sheaffer Legacy is made almost entirely by hand! Definitely not a unit of mass production. This is evident from moment you pick up this fountain pen.<br/><br/>Its external appearance is almost an exact replica of the famed Sheaffer " en For Men" (PFM), but the PFM was made of injection molded plastic and was never offered in a platinum finish.<br/><br/>The Sheaffer Legacy 2 is the improved version of the original 1990's vintage Sheaffer Legacy fountain pen. The Legacy's introduction sought to emulate and capitalize on the nostalgia associated with one of Sheaffer's most successful and respected classic pens; the 1959 Sheaffer " en For Men".<br/><br/>The difference between the original Legacy and the Legacy 2 are slight but distinctive:<br/><br/>The Legacy has squared corners at the cap and filler knob ends which resulted in an unacceptable level of production flaws and were prone to denting. The Legacy 2 has ends which are rounded.<br/><br/>The Legacy has raised studs to retain the cap. The Legacy 2 has a compression ring and decorative gold accent ring, which provides a better air seal and is more attractive.<br/><br/>It was found in production, that the sharp edges that replicate the lines of the PFM, were difficult to finish without excessive quality control rejections. The filler knob on the Legacy 2 is all metal and has rounded edges in place of the Legacy’s sharper edges on its plastic filler knob.<br/><br/>The nib sections of the Legacy and Legacy 2 are not interchangeable.<br/><br/>Both Legacy 1 and Legacy 2 are no longer in production having been replaced by the Legacy "Heritage" model. I imagine this was a cost cutting measure as the Heritage lacks the "touchdown" filler mechanism, (A very sad thing for Sheaffer Pen lovers.), and retails for $75.00 less than the Legacy 2.<br/><br/>The Legacy 1 and 2 may be the last of the truly great Sheaffers. Both were introduced before Sheaffer was acquired by BIC.<br/><br/>The nib section of the Legacy 2 and the latest edition, Legacy Heritage, are interchangeable but sadly, the Heritage model is only available with a fine or medium size nib. <br/><br/>The Sheaffer Pen Company, the last quality pen manufacturer in the U.S.A., now owned by the BIC Corporation of France, is slated to end operations May 1, 2006, with production scheduled to be moved overseas. <br/><br/>The Sheaffer name will remain but the roots of its legacy and heritage (pun intended) in the town of its foundation will have been severed.<br/><br/>Sheaffer no longer makes a pen that approaches the superlative quality of the Legacy and Legacy 2. Under BIC ownership it is unlikely that they ever will again.<br/><br/>Both the Legacy and Legacy 2 have the look and styling of the classic1950's Sheaffer PFM snorkel filler, but are made of modern materials and have a unique filling mechanism utilizing the "Touchdown" system for filling from an ink bottle and allowing the use of ink cartridges as well.<br/><br/><br/>· 18k gold, inlaid, size medium nib, is marked: SHEAFFER 18K .750 U.S.A. <br/><br/>· Nib is hand cast and hand set in the traditional Sheaffer way to assure ultimate quality.<br/><br/>· PFM styling.<br/><br/>· Polished 23K gold filled cap and pocket clip.<br/><br/>· Cap band is marked: SHEAFFER U.S.A.<br/><br/>· Sheaffer's famed white dot logo is set by hand.<br/><br/>· A lifetime warranty.<br/><br/>This is truly one of the very finest writing instruments ever made. Once you feel its substantial quality in your hand and test the smoothness and flexibility of its 18K gold nib, you'll see for yourself why this flagship of the Sheaffer line sets the standard for the world's finest fountain pens.</p> |
