This Sheaffer pen, created under the direction of Classic Pens director Andreas Lambrou, was sent to Murelli of France to perform the engraved guilloche "Vannerie" (basket weave) exterior design on the hallmarked sterling silver barrel and cap. It was designed after Sheaffer's initial 1976 "Targa," and was named after Italy's Targa Florio Road Races. Originally pictured with the Porsche Road Racer, its "racy" silver exterior is accented by a Sheaffer "split" design "white dot" gold clip, and it is fitted with a Sheaffer 14k nib in medium left oblique. This cartridge/converter pen, #148/250, is mint in a Classic Pens exclusively designed red leatherette case with all papers, certificate by Lambrou, a 5 pack of cartridges, and an extra 14k Sheaffer fine point nib. Condition: Condition requests can be obtained via email (brad@cowans.com) or by telephone (513-871-1670 Ext. 217).
