COMMENTSClear Laque (enamel) on guilloche.  Reportedly hand-laquered 14 coats. Deep lustre poorly captured in my photo. One of most beautiful Targas (or near modern pens in general) i've had the pleasure to handle. I grabbed one of the last trays of NOS (pre-NOS really) from a Sheaffer rep. Two pens were promptly claimed at the Syracuse Pen Club meeting. Ask Al Besser or Jerry Fine how they like the pens :)  I have a couple amber pens left.  Oh yeah, the mint pen is fitted with a sweet broad stub nib. Converter included.

Pen 1869 Sheaffer PFM I Snorkel Filler in Jet Black
Outrageous Broad-Double Broad nib.  $325
Monster Nib Alert

Overall Grade: Nearmint
Metal: Nearmint Color:  Exc CLICK FOR LARGER PIC
Nib condition: Exc 
Clutch  perfect clarity:    NA
Point:  B-BB Imprint:  perfect Size: 5 3/8"
PRICE: $325
COMMENTS:  The PFM series is the oversized pen which employed Sheaffer's vaunted snorkel-filling mechanism. Usually nice writers, these are a terrific choice for he who seeks a big gripping area. The tapered shell and lack of a step-off allow for very comfortable writing. Indeed, A black PFM II that i once had on the site for sale, became my regular user at work and has been so now for probably a year.  The PFM has five trim levels found in all five colors.

T
his one is a PFM I-  with the expected white trim and PdAg nib. It also has one of the quite small number of Broad+ nibs i've seen in this series.  Broad- Double Broad range, the ball shaped iridium writes a monster line. Scarce nib.
