[WTS] Many Sheaffer Targa in mint condition, and some free pens

($15 - $115)

I was recently gifted a huge and beautiful collection of pens, however I’m very happy with my current collection and thus, to fund my grad school, I’m shipping them off to homes where they will be used and loved at very cheap prices, so let my loss be your gain.

Today's post has many Sheaffer pens, mostly Targa's along with some others. NOS pens have not been tested unless mentioned but I can perform a quick dip test before sending the pen if you would like. Pens do not come with converter unless otherwise mentioned, but I can ship with cartridges/converter as mentioned below.

To understand the model numbers associated with the Targa pens, please look at this website: https://www.sheaffertarga.com/technical%20info/versions%20of%20targa.html

All pens (excluding the VFM) can be shipped with a cartridge of Sheaffer Skrip Blue, however I only have two, so the first two people asking for one will receive it. I also have one brand-new Sheaffer Piston Converter that you can add to your order for an extra $10, which will also go to the first person who asks. Please note that the converter works with every pen in this list except the VFM, which does not take Sheaffer-style cartridges, using Standard International Cartridges instead.

  1. SOLD [NOS] Targa 1007 Gold-Plated <14k bouncy XF>: We start with one of the shiniest pens I have ever seen. No camera angle can capture how shiny this pen is. The gold-plating is absolutely perfect and looks like it was bought yesterday. The nib is a butter-smooth bouncy 14k Extra-fine, and is truly just as shiny as the pen itself. The nib has a slight rose-gold tint to it which imo just makes it look even better. The pen comes with a Sheaffer aerometric converter.

  2. [NOS/B] Targa 1020 Imperial Brass <14K bouncy Medium>: Next up we have an NOS Targa 1020 in Imperial Brass. While this pen is also NOS, it was not stored super well and as such has microscratches and plating wear consistent with being stored in a drawer (please refer to video), hence the B rating. The brass also has some patina, as all brass does. I have left the patina untouched since I know it is desirable for some, but it can easily be removed with a jewelry polishing cloth if you don't like it. The nib is a very bouncy 14k Medium. Comes with Sheaffer aerometric converter. Imgur: https://imgur.com/a/imperial-brass-sheaffer-targa-m-qSwwXDJ . Asking $105.
  3. [NOS/B+] Targa 1003 (Version 3) Matte Black + Gold Trim <14k soft Medium>: Next up is an NOS Targa version 3, this time in the super classy 1003 Matte Black and Gold trim. While the pen itself is NOS, it does have two small scratches under the clip (please refer to pic), hence the B+ rating. The nib is a lovely 14k Medium, although upon a quick dip test it seems to be closer to a Western Fine nib than a Medium. Does not come with converter. Imgur: https://imgur.com/a/targa-matte-black-14k-m-7Af9Oz1 . Asking $95.
  4. [B] Targa Slim (Version 6) 1003s Matte Black + Gold Trim <14k M nib>: Love the look of the Targa but think it's too thick/too heavy? Well Sheaffer has you covered! Next up is a Slimline Targa in the 1003s Matte Black and Gold Trim. This pen has been used a little, and has slight corrosion on the cap and body finials (please see pictures), however since it's all gold plated, the corrosion comes off easily with a jewelry polishing cloth. It's unfortunate that I don't have one on me right now. This pen has been used for a few months before being stored in a pen case, and as such is in excellent condition, and comes with a nice 14k M nib. Does not come with converter. Imgur: https://imgur.com/a/targa-slim-14k-m-tpsw79k . Asking $75.
  5. [NOS] Targa Gold-Plated Fountain Pen + Ballpoint Set: This set comes with original box and papers. This is a beautiful set comprising of a rollerball pen (does not have a refill) and a ballpoint (does have a refill) in a matching fluted gold-plated trim. The pens have never been removed from their box and are in exquisite condition. If you have an existing Targa nib, you can use it along with the barrel + cap of the rollerball if you'd like. Imgur: https://imgur.com/a/sheaffer-targa-set-7IG1lwb . Asking $75. EDIT: I bought an NOS Targa 14k M fountain pen section + nib, you can buy this set as a Fountain pen plus ballpoint for $105.
  6. [B-] Targa 1001 Stainless Steel <SS M nib>: Next up is a Stainless Steel Targa that I bought used off eBay because it was at an unbelievable price. I found out later that the price was so low because the pen looked like someone had decided to experiment on it with a laser engraving machine. It has a bunch of names engraved quite haphazardly all over the body (please see the video). However they thankfully aren't super visible so it's still a very usable pen, and comes with the awesome standard stainless-steel Medium nib that the Targa was known for. Aside from the engravings the pen is in excellent condition. Does not come with a converter. Imgur: https://imgur.com/a/sheaffer-targa-ss-CZZc50X . Asking $40

ALMOST-FREE PENS:

  1. SOLD [B] Sheaffer Agio Black + Gold trim <SS M nib>: Next up is a lovely and somewhat hard to find Sheaffer Agio, from my mother's collection. This pen has been used exactly once (by me) with a cartridge of Sheaffer Skrip Blue, and the nib seems to have some corrosion (please see pics) which can easily be removed with a polishing cloth since it's gold plated. The nib is very smooth and nice, although it does have a small sweet spot (where it writes like butter), and it seems to write more like a Western Fine even though it's marked as a medium nib. I actually like it but unfortunately it's a little too small for my hands. Imgur: https://imgur.com/a/sheaffer-agio-m-JfxJzyl . Asking $20 but will throw it in for free if you buy two or more pens from this post or from my previous post selling Waterman pens (link below) SOLD

  2. SOLD [A2] Sheaffer VFM Polished Stainless Steel <SS M nib>: Next up is a VFM in polished Stainless Steel from my own collection. This is IIRC the only pen in Sheaffer's lineup that takes a standard international cartridge (NOT the long international cartridge). This pen has also been used exactly once by me, and it writes very well, but is unfortunately a little small for my hands. This nib too writes closer to a Western Fine even though it's marked as a Medium. Imgur: https://imgur.com/a/sheaffer-vfm-m-nib-dYvxyfC . Asking $15 but will throw it in for free if you buy two or more pens from this post or from my previous post selling Waterman pens (link below). SOLD

FREE PENS:

These following pens are free if you cover shipping. I can also throw them in with any of the pens above if you want:

  1. SOLD 2x Sheaffer POP! Star Wars Special Editions (Kylo Ren and Death Star): Both these pens are special Star-Wars-themed editions of one of Sheaffer's low-maintenance schoolboy pens, the POP! Both come with very good nibs that are marked as Medium but write more like Fine nibs (is this a common thing with modern Sheaffer pens haha). The Death-Star themed one has a slightly loose clip. Both of them have pretty decent cap seals, and have only ever been used with Sheaffer ink. Imgur: https://imgur.com/a/sheaffer-pop-star-wars-xwybGvf SOLD
