This is something of an anomaly
in Parker's low-end, with its large traditional point-- the rest all have a lower profile
semi-tubular point, as in the IM.
It actually reminds me very much of Sheaffer's old school pens-- even the shape
of the feed is reminiscent of them-- although the finish is of somewhat
higher quality. This example is actually a pretty pedestrian one,
as the line has some gold-trimmed versions.
In the hand, it is nothing to write home about, although it is entirely
unobjectionable. There are some people in the world who find a
rubberized section unpleasant, and to them I would suggest avoiding
this pen. If one is on the lookout for a Parker with generally
traditional styling and without a vast price tag, this is your kid.
Specifications: Medium steel
point. Cartridge filler (will accept the nasty modern
slide-converter, but no older types). 13.2 cm long capped, 14.8
cm
posted.
Condition: Very slightly scuffed from use-- it shows up well on
the cap in the picture.
Repairs: The body had gone through the wringer, scuff-wise, so I
gave it a polish by way of practice, and it buffed up quite nicely.
Location: My collection.
For sale?: No.
