First, let me apologize because I forgot to take pictures in my haste to get a package mailed. That said, I promise pics when said package is returned.
Two fo the first or so pens I purchased back in the mid to late 80's were the Sheaffer Targa and Connoisseur. I really thought I had lost them long ago. I recently found them in the bottom of box, in a little wooden box, and then remembered why they were there.
The Targa, body was broken. Not the steel exterior, but the plastic inside, and the Connoisseur was missing the decorative top of the cap.
They are now making their way to the Sheaffer/Cross Repair Center in Rhode Island. No estimated time frame until they take a look at them.

) I've got two, also (a black Sheaffer and a Mediterranean Sea Blue Sheaffer-Levenger), and they're awesome pens. Classic shape, great size, very well made. Unfortunately, many others agree and they're not cheap. I got very lucky when I scored mine at low-end prices (under $100). I'd love to have more!
