The width looks kinda similar to my Targa. Mine has an M on the nib and is easily the best performing nibs I have bar none. Its performance looks strikingly like your. Congrats. Great everydayer

Thanks

Interesting review.

Yes I do agree, the Targas tend to grow on you and they are hard to let go.

 

Love the color of that black mate one. I have one in crome.

Thank you for the nice review. I, too, like fine and extra-fine nibs. But, my Sheaffer Holly Pen with the inlaid, medium nib is great fun to write with. To me, it's a bold line. Your black Targa is an attractive pen!

Told you.

 

Targas are GREAT pens and often unknown.

[CRB]

Thank you for the review, and congrats on your very good fortune. I agree that the Targa is a great pen design, with lovely balance.

 

For the nib size, there is usually a faintly incised or printed capital letter visible on the underside of the black section, near where it joins the barrel.

 

I think you'll enjoy your new Targa.

 

Cheers,

Joe

Thanks for the review of a great pen. I've had one exactly like yours (black matte, 14K gold medium nib) for probably 30 or more years. It has served me well - the black matte finish is becoming shiny and not so matte anymore - but it still looks nice. Congratulations on such a deal!

Congratulations on your excellent deal! That Targa alone would normally cost the $66 you paid for it and the Cross pen. I agree wholeheartedly that the Targa feels great in the hand and those inlaid nibs are smooth and dependable. The Targa is one of Sheaffer's great "modern" pens--so wonderful in fact that I've tried to collect as many of them as I can and the majority of them I put to use!

Enjoy your Targa--and try some others with different nibs! I think you'll find them just as smooth and responsive as the one you have.

You got an incredible deal if the Targa has the gold nib -- which it appears to have (though I can't be certain). Figure $100 for the Targa alone.

I've been interested in the Targa for a while. What's the section and body width like?
