Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Never Inked Sheaffer Targa Slimline Fountain Pen, Model 1051s, in the Metallic Grey color with 23K gold electroplated trim. This fountain pen has never been inked and comes with the scarce Slimline ink converter. This particular model is considered scarce to acquire and was only in production for one year, 1988.

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 1051s with production only in 1988. Again, this Sheaffer Targa Slimline Fountain Pen is in new old stock condition as it has never been inked. This Sheaffer Targa displays a Metallic Grey finish (the little flakes you see on the pen are the metallic flakes) with 23-carat gold electroplated trim and a 14K solid gold Medium nib.  The top of the cap is stamped, "SHEAFFER USA". 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 as it has never been inked and is in Mint, New Old Stock Condition.

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 nib shows no signs of ever being inked. I did not perform a writing sample only to keep this one in New Old Stock, Mint, and in uninked condition for the new owner.

This Sheaffer Targa Slimline Fountain Pen in this Metallic Grey pattern is a very scarce model to acquire because it was only made in 1988, one year. I would consider this Sheaffer Targa Fountain Pen to be in Mint, Never Inked, New Old Stock Condition. A marvelous addition to your writing arsenal collection.
