Handsome set. I have that pen but in Sterling, a gift from my wife.

Thanks Hugh.
I never thought of that option. I will just keep my eye out for a Targa with a broad nib. I will report on the condition of my Targa when it arrives.

My Targas all behave the same. They are slightly wet writers and seem a touch wider than the nib width. My Med is more Broad and the Broad is definitely a double broad.

I should explain to Laurie that Bill Sexauer has one of the worlds greatest collections of Targas....I guess "eye watering" would be an apt description...as would the value !! It nearly defies belief that Sheaffer produced so many variations and unreleased prototypes of this model.

Regards
Hugh

So do I....but I had to buy it myself....I think I wore the "I'd like a pen" bit out years ago
