Unidentified Parker Fountain Pen

[Mister_Blake]

Hello guys, today i have a pen that i can't identify

i swear i have tried everything i can, fountain pen database, looked at Parker catalogs

(oh yeah 1 thing i am sure about is that its Parker).

i uploaded some pictures of the pen in question.

bought it pen from and old Asian men for 50 USD

have found some similar looking ones, but they don't look exactly alike

the picture have to be re-sized because the original pictures are too big

don't know if you can see but it says "Parker" and"made in France" on the cap

and says Parker something something USA on the nib (the words are too small, i can't read it)

and that's pretty much all i know about this pen

can someone kindly identify this pen for me?

i would like to check out it's value, put a converter in it, and potentially get it fixed, it leaks alot

thank you very much for your patience

It looks like a Parker 75.

ummm ok so it is a Parker "75" Godron 18k solid gold

and pfffffft i don't know the names can be quite deceptive with these fountain pens

but is it made out of solid gold?

Very unlikely.

 

If it is gold the body and cap will be hallmarked and proof-marked showing the purity (9K/375, 14k/585, 18k/750) but more likely will be gold plated.

Congrats on the great find. Enjoy your P75. Yours is in a very good condition too and $50 is a great price. Any Parker converter will fit.

I think the pen is "75 GODRON" version/model which came only in 18k solid gold and not plated. Well , that is my understang . Correct me if in case I am wrong .

 

Anyhow , you are right that the pen ,if gold, should be hallmarked as such.

yeah i found this exact mark on my pen, i don't know what that means and can you tell me if there is a hallmark, where should be?

[Mister_Blake]

ok guys, let's end this post, i checked out the website @mitto gave me

 

turns out that all Parker 75 Godrons are gold plated over brass with 23 parallel grooves

 

so yeah it's not gold, but still good enough for me as a daily pen

 

thank you everybody for the help

but look at #22 on this catalog

[mitto]

That is a catalog of pens available with them.

oh

 

*sniff*

 

cool

The Godrom was available in:

Silverplate over brass
Goldplate over brass
Sterling silver, introduced in 1980
Solid 18K gold Presidential, very rare

Looking at the pictures, Mister_Blake, your pen would seem to be the Goldplate over brass version. If it is the 18K version it will be marked as such and you can book up that special holiday that you always wanted.

ok i will go to the parker store and figure out what variation of the Godrom is, i need a new nib anyways

 

but i will say that there is some green rust on the inside of the pen itself, so i would bet on it being the goldplate over brass
