I had several Sheaffer's in the last years, most had to go, but three remained

 

1. 1942 Tuckaway

2. Snorkel Autograph

and at last my favorite:

3. Targa Vintage ("Grapes and Leaves") with Factory Oblique Stub

As I don't have the pen with me right now, here's a picture from sheaffertarga.com

Greetings,

It's hard to pick just one!

 

Sentimental favorite: My father's black Targa.

The Sheaffer Snorkel began my fascination with fountain pens, so all those are my favorites (I try to use them in rotation).

 

Currently, though, having finally got one, I truly love my Sheaffer Valor. I feel a bit wrong about that, as it's post-Fort Madison, but it's a great looking pen and a darned good writer!

My student or school pens are awesomely smooth! I also like my Peyton Street Edition made by Bexley, with its inlaid imperial nib and balances with lifetime nibs are also very nice!

Guess I have to say that I like all of my Sheaffers and don't have a clear favorite :thumbup:

May you and those you love, be always blessed with peace and never ending joy.

PdAg on that nib. Is that a silver-palladium amalgam?

Is that a PFM II? Very rare model you have because of the nib :puddle: :notworthy1: I am just jealous

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

A rare model indeed, because the cap is not brushed, but chrome. I was very lucky to find it ;)

Say what? It looks like a PFM V cap but you say it is chrome? As far as I know that model doesn't exist as a cataloged PFM or even as one models that were planned but never released. Does it have a chrome cap at the end of the blind cap or just plastic?

 

I'd love to see more pictures. Thanks for posting it.

      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..

      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

      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
