Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Circa 1982 Sheaffer Targa Slimline Fountain Pen, Model 1030s, in the Brown Thuya color with 23K gold electroplated trim. This fountain pen has been cleaned internally with a light polish. This Sheaffer Slimline comes with a hard-to-find Slimline ink converter.

This fountain pen was part of a purchase from a Stationary Store in Tennessee where I acquired nearly 50 New Old Stock Fountain Pens and Ballpoint Pens in the Targa design - this is just one of them.

This writing instrument is a Sheaffer Targa Slimline Fountain Pen and is model number 1030s with production beginning in 1982 and ending in 1991. This Sheaffer Targa displays a Brown Thuya finish with 23K gold electroplated trim and 14K solid gold Medium nib. This Sheaffer Targa Slimline will use either an ink converter (which it has) or ink cartridges. I have tested the Ink Converter that is supplied with this fountain pen and works as it should. Slimline ink converters are very scarce to get a hold of.

The cap and barrel have absolutely no damage, dents, or wear to the finish. The cap is always securing tightly to the barrel. The trim is perfect with no scratches or brassing. This fountain pen has a high-shine finish with the depth and quality of the finish as a result of being individually hand lacquered and polished 14 times which gives this finish a deep, luminous glow.

This Fountain Pen measures 5 3/8" inches capped and 5 3/4" posted. The diameter of the pen at the widest point is 8.57mm. 

The Sheaffer Inlaid Nib is marked 14K Sheaffer USA 585 and has a Medium point measuring .78mm when measuring with digital calipers. This Sheaffer was inked at some point but displays to wear. The nib will write with a very smooth medium line variation that ranges from .60mm to .88mm when measuring with digital calipers. The writing sample provided in the images was performed with the actual pen in the images. The ink used with Parker Blue Quink ink. 

This Sheaffer Targa Slimline Fountain Pen in the Brown Thuya finish is gorgeous and displays no wear. I would consider this Sheaffer Targa Fountain Pen to be in Near Mint to Mint Condition. A marvelous addition to your writing arsenal collection.
