I hav a Parker pen with an integral section / nib that I really don't believe is a T-1. Anyone know of another model similar? Any known copies?
I have a pic (although poor quality) Which might help...
Suggestions welcome - as well as guesses at value...
The pen is metal, has an integral nib / section, has a CC filler, says Parker on the barrel, but does not appear to be of extremely high quality - at least the fittings don't. The slit is short, and does not terminate in a hole.

Oh, yes - the Arrow clip doesn't have the 'feathers', the nib slit is short, and doesn't terminate in a hole...

It's a Falcon.Late seventies early eighties pen.
They didn't have the feather detail on the clip and there was no hole on the nib
There is plenty of information if you have alook on google.
There are some for sale on the dreaded ebay.

Gerry,
I don't know why I didn't check my copy of FPOTW just now :doh: - there's a picture of it in there! :bunny1:
Yup, I concur with maxrhino, it's a Falcon. Here's what Andreas Lambrou said about it:
"During the 1970s new product lines were introduced, including model 50 (Falcon). Like the T-1, the Falcon featured a nib, which was an integral part of the gripping section. Parker's advertisements boosted the Falcon as the second pen without a separate nib, the first being the quill. The line included stainless steel, gold-plated, matt brown and matt black finishes termed TX. Although relatively modern, these now discontinued pens have become collectable pieces."

Thanks guys. I think Falcon was mentioned during a chat I had recently - forgot to pick up on that.
Great help you've been. Off to Google...
