Hello everybody!
This is the pen that got me into the hobby! I was at my Dad's house and I saw the pen... I grabbed it and he told me if I can get it to work, I can keep it. So I started looking for information about the pen and how to clean it... I discovered some videos of Steven Brown and I learned how to make pen flush... so I cleaned it (it was extremely dirty) and I took a Sheaffer cartridge filled it up with some old ink that my dad had... and it worked very well!! so I kept it... however, I have some questions... and my dad also like to know some things... I know is a Sheaffer Targa... but I don't know the year it was made... I don't know if the nib is a gold nib... I know it is very smooth and somewhat soft... I don't know how much this pen is worth... I'm not planning to sell it, but I want to know the value... also... I want to know what does the symbol on top of the cap means... it is some sort of W or M I don't have a clue!! and finally I guess the material is aluminum...
thank you for all your help on answering our questions!!
