Vintage Sheaffer Ballpoint Stratowriter 1940’s Rare

Description

Sheaffer introduced the Stratowriter in the mid-late 1940’s.  The ballpoint is extended using a press and twist mechanism the requires two hands to operate. This does operate as expected. Included is a used ink cartridge. It’s dried and no longer writes
These were made as gold filled or 14k but there are no markings anywhere on the pen for me to verify any gold content but this is still a rare pen.
There is some wear on the barrel from use and light flea bites on the end from ink leaking.
