Product Description
Type Cartridge/converter filling fountain pen with a reversable nib, working well.
Product Name Parker 180.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA - they started making this model in 1977, but we're not sure when this particular finish was introduced. Date code N.L. indicates 1979 or so.

Filling System It takes Parker style cartridges, or you can fill it with bottled ink via a converter.
Color Brushed stainless steel body and cap with gold plated trim and clip.
Nib X/M 14k nib is reversible and very sturdy (it is marked X/M). When the nib is designated with two letters, when you write with the nib in the normal position and you get one line width (medium), then flip it over and write with the other side and you'll get the other line width (extra fine).
Condition Excellent + condition. There are very light scratches on the cap and barrel (not visible to the naked eye). The black section is perfect. The stainless steel neck piece just above the section has plating wear and discoloration. The trim and clip are beautiful. There are no cracks, dings, dents, or chips. The imprints are clear.
