Your Favorite Sheaffer Fountain Pen

[mirosc]

I had several Sheaffer's in the last years, most had to go, but three remained

 

1. 1942 Tuckaway

2. Snorkel Autograph

and at last my favorite:

3. Targa Vintage ("Grapes and Leaves") with Factory Oblique Stub

As I don't have the pen with me right now, here's a picture from sheaffertarga.com

I have only a few Sheaffer's in my collection but my favourite one is the PFM V black.

It's hard to pick just one!

 

Sentimental favorite: My father's black Targa.

The Sheaffer Snorkel began my fascination with fountain pens, so all those are my favorites (I try to use them in rotation).

 

Currently, though, having finally got one, I truly love my Sheaffer Valor. I feel a bit wrong about that, as it's post-Fort Madison, but it's a great looking pen and a darned good writer!

My student or school pens are awesomely smooth! I also like my Peyton Street Edition made by Bexley, with its inlaid imperial nib and balances with lifetime nibs are also very nice!

Guess I have to say that I like all of my Sheaffers and don't have a clear favorite

A lowly Cadet with a sensational S1 nib...... I lost it to my wife about 2 years ago......

I love the Sheaffer Targa's. Smooth writers, I use one for several years now and have four in my collection.

Sheaffer Balance Statesman in black. It's a lever filler with an ink-view window from circa 1936-40.

From left to right: Targa 1001, PFM III, Triumph Imperial, Lifetime Balance Vac Fill, Admiral Snorkel and at last, a mechanical pencil (don't know exactly the model...).

I love my valor. got it for Christmas a few years ago and it has become one of my most used pens. Im using it right now to do my homework!

 

I have a targa also that is a close second.

PdAg on that nib. Is that a silver-palladium amalgam?

A rare model indeed, because the cap is not brushed, but chrome. I was very lucky to find it

Say what? It looks like a PFM V cap but you say it is chrome? As far as I know that model doesn't exist as a cataloged PFM or even as one models that were planned but never released. Does it have a chrome cap at the end of the blind cap or just plastic?

 

I'd love to see more pictures. Thanks for posting it.
