Hello, guys. I have very new with this amazing hobbies. I have recently bought my first pen (Lamy Vista) and I started getting information about what other pens I can have to develop my experience and knowledge. I havenīt decided yet but I have some in mind. Short story, I talked with my father about my new hobby and he surprised with a spontaneous gift! A Sheaffer Targa Gold Platted Trim with a 14k Nib (which I believe is a semiflex) He got it before getting married. (+35 years ago) I canīt wait to experience all this pen can offer. This is my first semiflex or flex (I'm a noob remember). I post 2 photos to show you this beauty. PS Please, don't mind the writing but the intention. Jejeje. Greetings all!!

Don't try flexing inlaid nibs, it's generally not healthy. Targas are great though.

You have a winner. Enjoy it and it will always remind you of your father.
