Hi. I've been offered a Parker 85 but I know nothing of the pen's history. Can anybody help? Is the pen the same size as a 75? Any other advice would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Ronin

I don't know much about it, but all I know was that it's made in England, didn't sell well, but is now a sought-after pen by collectors. If it's a hundred dollars or so, I'd get it. I have one myself and it rocks.

This link in the Pen Reviews can help. Regards, Giuseppe

Hi Giuseppe. Thanks for the link it has given me a better idea of the pen.

Not a lot of info, but a nice epithet "top of the line".
