Vintage Sheaffer Targa Fountain Pen Review and Restoration

This might be a vintage Sheaffer Targa. The only thing I can tell for sure is that it was made between 1978 and 1994. Whether vintage or just old, this is a gorgeous 14k gold nib slim fountain pen. The model is a Targa Brown Thuya Ronce Laque Classic. That's quite a mouthful! I cleaned up and did a minor restoration on this pen after it has sat with old ink in it for many years. I take a look at the parts and features of the pen, give dimensions and measurements and do a writing sample. I also do a short history of the Sheaffer Targa Fountain Pen. You may skip to the various sections by using the time stamps below.
