Condition and information:
Offered here is one of the last pens of probably the most famous pen series in the world, the Parker 75. Since Parker was very precise with their dating markings, we can now know the quarter and year in which the pen was made, January to March 1992. After more then 11 million Parker 75 made and sold, this must be one of the most celebrated, most popular and needless to say, one of the best pens in the world. Discontinued in 1994, the pen here is one of the last 75's ever made. It features all the advancements in the series, all the little tweaks and upgrades the from its predecessors, and many collectors claim its the most refined and most reliable Parker 75 model. The pen features a circular grip section, unlike the triangular on the previous models. This makes it more easier to hold, feels more naturally in the hand, and one can turn the pen on any desired angle. Most importantly, it has a gold filled ring band on the tip of the grip section, unlike the previous models which has a wider chromed band which was prone to rust and thus was the weak point on all those models. The pen offered here is the stunning Godron model, with deep lines spanning from top to bottom, giving the pen some amazing reflections, great grip and feel in the hand. The pen feels solid, 18K gold plate, heavy, with perfect balance while writing. The 75 form factor is probably one of the best in the world, combining new and modern, after all this form factor was in production for more then 30 years, and that makes it one of the longest running pen series in the world. The pen is in absolute NOS, never used condition, simply new. Very precise cap on body fit, with a deep cap pull and a prefect clean "click" sound when closing. The nib is huge, solid 14K gold, F fine and does not scratch the paper, writes a constant F to EF line with good ink-flow. Comes with its original bladder converter, but it can be used with any Parker ink cartridges. Very easily removable grip section, easy to open and clean/maintain the pen. Designed by Kenneth Parker (son of the founder George Parker) and the designer Don Doman, the 75 embodies everything a pen should stand for, stunning looks, superb build quality, performance, ease of use and many more factors which make for a remarkable writing instrument.  The Parker 75 model is probably one of the most famous and reliable pens ever made, not just by Parker, but among all brands.
