1930's Sheaffer Balance pens can be found with relatively (or absolutely) scarce cap-band patterns which appear in no known catalogue. These include a wide milled cap-band, the well more scarce double and triple cap-band, and the single "fish scale" band. Amongst these, the milled cap-band by far is easiest to find. The others are... tough.
Unlike Parker Vacumatic, I do not collect Balance in a completist fashion, though I grab Balance with these cap-band styles when I can. For the double, triple and fish-scale bands, I try not to pass on any, only occasionally having skipped one when cost was relatively prohibitive.

Typical HTML tabs for BROAD and ITALIC should work. Others... maybe not.
