Product Description
Type Slim fountain pen.
Product Name Targa 1001S Slim version. White Dot.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in U.S.A. -- 1982-88, much like the full sized version the cap derby changes after 1988.
Length Just under 5-3/8 inches.
Filling System It takes slim Sheaffer style cartridges and converters. You can use the included Kaweco Sport squeeze converter to fill it from bottled ink. The original Sheaffer slim squeeze converters are hard to find, but we've found these simple Kaweco Sport converters work well.
Color Stainless steel with brushed finish and chrome plated trim. It has the earlier brushed steel cap derby.
Nib MEDIUM Sheaffer inlaid steel nib. An M can just be made out beneath the clutch band of the combination nib unit/section.
Condition Excellent condition. Both ends of the pen show wear. The end of the barrel's black accent line is rough on the edges as is the black inset. The cap has some marks beneath the derby. The area around the top of the clip had some rust but we made one last attempt to clean it and it now looks much better than the photographs show. There is a scratch on the bottom of the clip and a dent on the left tine of the nib. A working converter is installed.
