Sheaffer Imperial VII

Color: Black w/ GP Cap
Material: Resin, GP
Filler: Touchdown
Date c. 1960s
Nib: XXF 14K Inlaid
Working? Yes

Beautiful vintage Imperial, some brassing to the GP cap, but otherwise great condition. Insanely fine point, one of the finest I’ve ever written with! I’d call this an accountant point, perhaps? (And too fine for me, so it doesn’t get much use.)

Sheaffer Target

Sheaffer Target (or Imperial III)

Color: Black
Material: plastic
Filler: Touchdown
Date c. 1960-61
Nib: F Palladium Triumph
Working? Yes

This is an odd bird; released right alongside the venerated PFM, first as the Target in 1960-61, then later as the Imperial III. Not a top of the line Sheaffer, but another nice TD with a Triumph nib that writes a very fine (a bit too fine for my tastes, unless i”m working on really cruddy paper), line.

Sheaffer Target (or Imperial III)

Color: Evergreen
Material: Plastic
Filler: Touchdown
Date c. 1960-61
Nib: Palladium Triumph
Working? Yes

This is an odd bird; released right alongside the venerated PFM, first as the Target in 1960-61, then later as the Imperial III. Not a top of the line Sheaffer, but another nice TD with a Triumph nib that writes a fairly smooth medium line.
