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.
