I purchased it a couple of years ago. It's a lovely writer. It's an eyedropper. A Waterman from ca. 1910, I think. Only the barrel is marked 18kt. The cap is probably gold-filled. The nib is 14k marked Waterman Ideal.

I just have these Sheaffers that are too new to be vintage and too old to be modern.

Wow, very nice! I never knew Sheaffer made a solid gold Targa.

Sir Ebaysalot,

Sheaffer made 10 each of the fountain pen and ballpoint of the Targa Masterpiece set that I showed. There are unconfirmed rumors that a few more were made. There was also a Targa Masterpiece set in a straight line pattern that was also limited to 10 pieces each of the fountain pen and ballpoint. I have never seen that one nor have I ever seen a listing for a sale of that one.

 

Both the Targa and the Imperial fountain pens are great writers as well as being good looking. I was fortunate in that both pens had been obviously used when I first got them so I didn't have to agonize over whether to ink and use them.

This thread is fantastic :thumbup:

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o
    • adamselene
      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
