    Default Sheaffer Targa... Yeah, Baby.

    Sheaffer offered Targa from the mid 1970s to late 1990s.

    But... not these Targas.

    Or, as they say, "yeah, baby!".

    There's been major gab of late on the Facebook Group (in my sig, below) on Sheaffer, but I figured this one is choice enough to offer on the boards.

    Nope.

    Do the three pens on the left have a floral pattern? Those are really wild.

    Iam a fan of the Targa, particularly with a factory stub.

    I have never seen anything like these although I am not over familiar with the Ronce finishes.

    Really like the look of the pen 4th in from the left. The gold really sets off the finish nicely

    The three at left have an iridescent look with flowers or something. I believe it is not a painted finish, but perhaps a wrapped/screened thing. I think there are dots seen under mag.
