This is one of the less common Targas, but not extremely rare. Although there are a few prototypes around in the full-sized version, your slim version was the only production version of this design.

As to value, that's very hard to determine on pens that are seldom sold. They are, of course, worth what a buyer will pay for them. But with very few sales it's hard to pin down a value. But note that the slim models are in less demand since both the cartridges and converters for them went out of production more than a decade ago and are now very hard to find.

 

Also, I would like to point out a couple of the FPN forum rules:

• The Fountain Pen Network is not an appraisal site. Asking values with the intent of trying to sell on The Fountain Pen Network from any section or forum other than the Classifieds section and The Mall forum is not acceptable and will not be allowed.
• Members of the Fountain Pen Network should be aware that The Fountain Pen Network is a community of users, and not an appraisal or identification service for people intent on optimizing their sales without having to invest in the Fountain Pen Network beyond an odd post here and there asking for information, or alternatively without having to invest by means of a Premium Account.

It's worn and a slim - wouldn't give more than $50 for it even though it is a lesser found example.

 

Of course I'm not an appraiser nor do I subscribe to having a premium account nor do I particularly like following rules.
