Product Description
Type Fountain pen, very slender, with an interesting nib. Not a model we see very often.
Product Name Parker Classic aka International Classic
Manufacturer and Year Parker, USA. -- 1989 (the date code is a clear IN indicating 1989).
Length Just over 5-5/16".
Filling System Takes Parker-style cartridges and converters. Because the barrel is quite slender not all Parker converters will fit. A Parker squeeze converter is installed. (The modern Parker piston converter does not fit.)
Color Matte Black with an epoxy coating. The section has a grid pattern etched into it and the trim is gold plated.
Nib Medium Parker gold plated steel triangular nib. There is an M on the nib collar. The nib writes smoothly. Its design is based on the Parker 180 reversible nib but it wasn't advertised as such, and while you might be able to write with it upsidedown, it isn't much different than the other way in terms of line width.
Condition New old stock in mint condition. No scratches, dents, cracks, dings, or personalization. The imprints are clear. The pen is sleek and elegant.
