Can Anyone Identify This Parker Model Please?

[gamingoodz]

I just recently got into fountain pens and I'm looking to start getting some new pens. I've been searching classifieds looking for some used pens trying to maybe find a deal but people don't seem to put fountain pens on sites like craigslist often.

 

I found a Parker fountain pen near me for $15 but the seller doesn't know what model parker it is and only knows that the pen doesn't say parker but the packaging does. Also that he received the pen as a gift about 10 years ago..

 

I know some Parker pens only cost about $15 new and not being very knowledgeable in fountain pens yet I'm not sure what model this pen is to gauge its worth.

 

I found a website that lists all the different Parker fountain pens made but WOW I didn't realize Parker made so many models and variations of models over the years.

 

Is it a Parker Frontier? If so, new I think they are under $15

Does the nib say anything? Also the cap looks like there is some etching there.

I sent the seller an email asking, he just replied and sent me a picture. It just says "Parker" on the nib with the P logo above it

 

Frontier

 

Ok thanks, I was comparing it to Parker pens on ebay trying to see if I could figure it out which is where I came up with the guess of Frontier. Thank you, I guess its not really worth the drive for $15 since you can get a new model on ebay for about $14 shipped.

 

Thank you

Oh okay. Because there is a Baor (or other chinese brand) that looks awfully like a Frontier.

 

Got to watch out for those bait and switches on evil bay.

I always enjoy questions. I often learn from the answers. In case you want to keep a good resource in your kit, this is a good one.
