Description from the seller
A0000001884PC08
This Sheaffer Targa exhibits an outstanding condition for its age, preserving the essence of elegance and refinement that characterizes this iconic line. The body and cap, fully gold-plated with a fine guilloché pattern, retain a uniform and deep shine. Despite careful use, it only shows minor soft micro-scratches typical of normal handling, with no areas of wear in the plating or loss of definition in the engraving.
The clip maintains its alignment and tension perfectly, appearing clean and without deformations. The central ring features sharp, well-defined engravings, a clear indicator of the good care the piece has received.
The inlaid 14K gold nib is in excellent condition, with no deformations, bites, or signs of stress. The tip appears intact and ensures smooth, steady, and highly fluid writing. The section remains equally clean, with no cracks or alterations in the finish.
The hood closure mechanism operates firmly, maintaining a secure fit without play. Overall, this Targa presents itself as a well-preserved luxury piece, ready to offer immediate performance and exceptional aesthetic enjoyment.
It is an ideal instrument for both collectors and those seeking a distinguished, functional pen with a condition that stands out markedly from most of the available specimens on the market.
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Good auction!
