    Here's a very uncommon one, on a TM TD Masterpiece.

    Hi Brian,

    Iirc there was a Targa calligraphy set that came with 3 (?) steel points, nicely boxed etc., it would be a neat set to find but I haven't seen one for years.

    I know for sure there has been a Targa with a single steel italic nib, because I still have that one. Haven't used it for a long time, but last year I bought a new converter for it.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the link, Hugh. I vaguely remember having seen such a set in the stores, but it probably was too much of a step up from the little NoNonsense calligraphy sets I was using at the time for this kind of work.

    Cheers,
    Peter

    Sheaffer Repair still has nearly every size Targa nib in steel, including stub, left and right oblique, and (untipped) italic. I ordered a left oblique for my Targa a couple months ago and it is sweetness. I also have a 2.0mm italic that is very crisp, but the oblique is the love of my life.
