Product Description
Type Fountain pen, very slender, with an interesting nib
Product Name Parker Classic
Manufacturer and Year Parker, UK -- 1988 (the date code is a clear IE indicating 1988).
Length 5-7/16".
Filling System Takes Parker-style cartridges and converters. Because the barrel is quite slender not all Parker converters will fit. An early style squeeze converter is installed. The modern Parker piston converter does not fit.
Color Matte black with gold plated trim. Black section with little squares.
Nib Medium Parker gold plated steel triangular nib. There is an M on the nib collar, but it looks fairly broad to us. Its design is based off of the Parker 180 reversible nib but it wasn't advertised as such.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a slim, nice-looking pen in a classic design and color. The cap and barrel have some shiny areas, more pronounced on the barrel that has a shiny line running around the circumference of the mid-barrel. The clip is excellent. The top gold tassie has dots of plating wear as does the gold ring at the end of the barrel. The imprints are clear.
