Hi

I just got my NOS Mandarin Yellow Big red. It is an amazing pen. I ordered it from Jack Berg Sales in El Paso, TX for $35. A bit expensive but historical.

It has a very nice grip and excellent finish. I just love the old Parker logo.

Jack Berg has a surprisingly large quantity and variety of colors available. I fitted the pen with a Parker Gel refill. Works like a dream.

Regards

They can also be had on eBay for $20 with shipping from Fred-Yeungs-Pen-Site on ebay. No experience or affiliation.

FWIW, we had a discussion here about the Big Red and how the section from a Cross Solo fits nicely into this pen.

I saw these on ebay. However, I suspect these are not made in USA and are not in their original packing. The steel ring at the bottom of the cap is missing. I think these are made in Argentina or so. If I am not mistaken the seller is in Far East someplace ?

Thanks for the tip about Cross Solo... I will try.

Thanks
