The first “Targa by Sheaffer” was introduced into the line up of Sheaffer pens in 1976, orginally in the Classic size only.

TARGA by SHEAFFER-CLASSIC.

Listed below are five different version of the “Targa by Sheaffer” in the Classic size.

The components of the Classic cap are basically the same throughout the five versions. Some models like “The Masterpiece” and “Fred Force 10” use a solid ornament and the version three models use a heavier cap plug; a few version one models like the “1020 Imperial Brass” are fitted with the same cap plug. These pens can be identified by the gold disc on the cap top. 

The main difference between the versions can be found in the pens barrel. Version one uses a plastic barrel liner and liner plug that is visible at the end of the barrel.

 Version two “The Masterpiece” is fitted with a solid ornament on the cap which sits flush to the cap shell. The barrel has a plastic barrel liner like version one, but the barrel is solid at the end.

On version three a metal bushing is used on the barrel, a smaller barrel liner is fitted with the liner plug still being used at the end of the barrel. The extra weight of the barrel bushing and the heavier version of the cap gives these Targa’s have a very solid feel.

 The barrel on version four is given extra length by fitting a metal barrel plug to the end; a shiny black disc is inserted into the plug. This plug also acts as protection for the barrels finish while adding a little extra weight.

Version five “Fred Force 10” uses a unique metal barrel plug and ornament, coupled with heavy gauge body the “Fred” is the heaviest version of the Targa available.

The Slimline pens were intoduced into the Targa range in 1982. TARGA by SHEAFFER-SLIMLINE. The slimline pens are made in two different versions, listed below as numbers six and seven. Like the Classic pens the slimline caps are made up with the same components in both versions and again some models have a heavier cap plug, which can be identified by the gold disc on the cap top. Both versions use a metal barrel bushing, with version six using a metal barrel plug on the end of the barrel, which again acts as protection for the finish on the barrel.
