Calligraphy, Or What?


Ted F

Recommended Posts

I just bought this pen (I'm sure I over paid at $9) with the idea of practicing restoration; however, the exterior was pretty good. The nib required four runs through the ultrasonic cleaner, changing the water each time because it became black and you couldn't see in it. Any way, the nib is Italic Medium and it writes beautifully. It's as plain as a pen can get and I can't find any information about it on sheaffertarga.com. Any ideas what model it is. The clip says SHEAFFER USA.

I checked a NoNonsense model I have and they are almost the same except for the trim materials. Also, the ends of the cap and body are recessed and they are flat on the NoNonsense model.

Your pen is the Calligraphy version of the NoNonsense. Later on, the same pen with tranparent cap/barrel would be called Sheaffer Viewpoint Calligraphy. After that they are no longer NoNonsense pens since the nib sections no longer interchange with the current Sheaffer Calligraphy pens. Even though the caps/barrels look similar. They are now simply called Calligraphy Pens.

Thank you. That's exactly what the pen looks like. I always like to know what I have.

      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
