Again, this Sheaffer Targa Slimline Fountain Pen is in new old stock condition as it has never been inked. This Sheaffer Targa displays a Metallic Garnet finish (the little flakes you see on the pen is the metallic gold flakes) with 23-carat gold electroplated trim and a 14K solid gold Medium nib.  The top of the cap is stamped, \"SHEAFFER USA\". This Sheaffer Targa Slimline will use either an ink converter (which it has) or ink cartridges. I have tested the Ink Converter that is supplied with this fountain pen and works as it should. Slimline ink converters are very scarce to get a hold of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cap and barrel have absolutely no damage, dents, or wear to the finish. The cap is always securing tightly to the barrel. The trim is perfect with no scratches or brassing.

I did not perform a writing sample only to keep this one in New Old Stock, Mint, and in uninked condition for the new owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Sheaffer Targa Slimline Fountain Pen in this Metallic Garnet pattern is a very uncommon model to acquire considering the Targa is a new model fountain pen.
