Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Mint Sheaffer Targa Classic Fountain Pen, Model 1082, in the Garnet Red Ronce pattern. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and now is in wonderful writing condition.

This fountain pen was part of a purchase from a Stationary Store in Georgia where I acquired nearly 25 New Old Stock Fountain and Ballpoint Pens in the Targa design - this is just one of them.

This writing instrument is a Sheaffer Targa Classic Fountain Pen and is model number 1082 with production beginning in 1989 till 1996. Again, this Sheaffer Targa Classic Fountain Pen is like new and in Mint condition. This Sheaffer Targa displays a Garnet Red Ronce finish, with 23-carat gold electroplated trim. Fitted with a 14K solid gold medium point nib. The depth and quality of this finish are a result of being individually hand-lacquered 14 times and polished, also by hand, to a deep, luminous glow. The top of the cap is stamped, "SHEAFFER U.S.A.". This Sheaffer Targa Classic will use either an ink converter or ink cartridges. The Ink Converter is supplied with this fountain pen which works and I have tested with water.

The cap and barrel have no 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 to the finish.

This Fountain Pen measures 5 3/8" inches capped and 5 3/4" posted. The diameter of the pen at the widest point is 11.26mm. The Sheaffer Targa Fountain Pen comes with a box, fountain pen ink converter, and Sheaffer documentation.

The Sheaffer Inlaid Nib is marked 14K Sheaffer 585 and has a medium point measuring .70mm when measuring with digital calipers.  The nib is in fantastic condition and writes ultra-smoothly with a wet line! When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a .76mm to .90mm medium line with medium pressure when measuring with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Parker Blue Ink.

This Sheaffer Targa Classic Fountain Pen in this Garnet Red Ronce pattern is very desirable and becoming increasingly difficult to acquire, especially in this type of condition. I would consider this Sheaffer Targa Fountain Pen to be in Mint Condition. A marvelous addition to your Sheaffer Targa writing arsenal collection.
