SH1938 Targa by Sheaffer No. 1007 Geometric Gold Plate Ballpoint, boxed

Date: c1991

Size: Length - 130mm.

A gold-plated Targa ballpoint.  This ballpoint is in excellent condition and, as far as I can see totally undamaged condition.  It has no dings, no plating wear and no noticeable scratches.  The cap has the distinctive flat top with a black inlaid disk and a gold-plated band above the pierced white dot pocket clip.   The design is very much inspired by 1920s flat-top pens.  The cap pulls off to allow the replacement of the ballpoint ink cartridge.  It is currently fitted with a working blue refill.  This is a twist-operated retractable ballpoint with the beautiful incised squares decoration that Sheaffer called the "Geometric" pattern.  It is presented here in its original case, which has a brown flocked outer with a rather dashing brown satin lining.   The base has a brass-bound edge.  It is all in lovely order.  

I have fully serviced this pen. It works perfectly.
