COMMENTS: The three Moire colors are amongst my favorite for TARGA.  Requiring 14 coats of translucent  lacquer on metal guilloche, these sparkle. I have one green FP in my personal collection of just two Targas (the other is a prototype color).  Sold six Moire fountain pens during the last couple years. This is the only BP I've stocked, and I have two available now.

Pen 3319:  Sheaffer/Levenger Connaisseur  $205 Double Broad Semi-Flex nib

Nib condition: Exc	Threads:  Exc	clarity: Nearmint
Point: Broad+  Semi-Flex	Imprint: NA	Size: 5 5/8" 14 cm	PRICE: $205
COMMENTS: 3 Some of Levenge Sheaffer re-branded (well, partially) pens for Levenger's store sales. The Connaisseur done for Levenger featured transparent plastics. This one packs a nib probably originally sold as broad, though to my eye it is pushing double broad. Very responsive, it has some true tine separation under pressure, arguing for semi-flex status.  Takes cartridge and converter. Includes Sheaffer converter.

Nib condition: Mint	Clutch:  Perfect	clarity: NA
Point: Medium	Imprint:  NA	Size:   5 1/4 " 13.4 cm	PRICE: $135
COMMENTS:  Lady Sheaffer flies a bit under the radar, overshadowed by general era cohorts, Imperial and Targa.  It is a solid pen of metal construction with various finishes (often fragile) applied to the metal.  This one is unused. It has the better of the two nib-styles-- The mini-Triumph-- in this case. I believe a wide range of finishes can be found, though I do not focus on this series. This is the first I've had in silver-tone metallic with a gold-tone incuse basket-weave pattern of sorts. Very pretty pen.  Nib is medium point palladium-silver.  Takes cartridge/converter but lacks converter now. I likely can track one down for you for additional $15.

Pen 3186  Sheaffer Lady Skripsert (~1959) $70 Silver Moire (?) with Cap-Band Brilliants

Nib condition: Exc	Clutch: Perfect	clarity: NA
Point: Medium	Imprint:  NA	Size: 5 3/8" 13.6 cm	PRICE: $70
COMMENTS:  Lady Skripsert dates to 1959, a contemporary to the Snorkel, PFM and Lady Sheaffer.  Of sound metal construction, these cartridge/converter pens offered a outre' styling relative to Sheaffer's generally more conservative fare.  The moire (?) pens with girdle of brilliants (diamond like non-diamonds) reside by the top of the ol' cachet pyramind.  This one has no dents.  From (?) shop-wear there are lots of lateral lines running about he pen revealing brighter-still metal beneatt the white pearlescent coating.  Still a clean pen, it is marked down well from the $150--or-so I'd ask for a minty example with perfect coating.  A cartridge can be provided for additional $15.

COMMENTS: Lady Sheaffer flies a bit under the radar, overshadowed by general era cohorts, Imperial and Targa.  It is a solid pen of metal construction with various finishes (often fragile) applied to the metal. This one is part of a collection of five mint pens in patterns I've never seen before. I am told these represent true prototypes (though the lines sometimes are painfully blurry amongst "prototype", "low run" and "hey it just must be rare if I've never seen one"). This one has gold point of the upturned/buried variety (not "Triumph"). Neat item for one who seeks something unusual from late 1950's Sheaffer.    Includes "aero"-style converter. Also takes cartridges.  This one had no nib assembly (a raw shell) when I found it. I have fitted it with a mint (stickered) nib assembly. The sticker makes for a snug fit, so don't force closed the pen (keep capped loosely) or do remove the section sticker.

Chrome clip is matched with the whilte-lined pattern (the red and black pens of this sort have gold-tone lines and gold-filled clip).  Neat item for one who seeks something unusual from late 1950's Sheaffer.   Cartridge/converter filling. I fitted this one with a mint converter.

I am told these represent true prototypes (though the lines sometimes are painfully blurry amongst "prototype", "low run" and "hey it just must be rare if I've never seen one").  This one in fact is a bit longer than the other Lady Sheaffers I've handled.  This very unusual "organic" pattern appears to be done via a layering of black enamel over gold-tone metal, with the black then randomly abraded (miniature ice-cream scoop?) revealing "bacterial" blots of gold-tone metal.  Neat item for one who seeks something unusual from late 1950's Sheaffer.   Takes cartridge/converter, and I have fitted this one with a mint converter. I also fitted a mint-stickered nib-section assembly to what was just an empty shell, when I'd bought the collection.  The sticker makes for an unduly snug fit, so if you plan to leave the sticker in place, do NOT force closed the pen. If you want to close (and/or use) the pen, i suggest removing the sticker so as not to put too much pressure on the fragile section.

COMMENTS: The metal Imperials are quite upscale variants of the humble plastic pens first introduced in the early 1960's. Most of these fancy variants date to 1970's-1980s. Masterpiece is done in solid 14k gold.   The Touchdown-filling Masterpiece does date to the early-mid 1960's, I believe.
