Question On What This Fountain Pen Is

[Newbiecameron]

I recently bought this pen as my interest in fountain pens got more profound. I found this online and bought it as it seemed cheap for its appearance. Can anyone help me identify this Parker pen???

On the nib, it says "14K PO U.S.A" and the nib seemed to be flat and slanted.

 

 

thank you

That is a Parker 75 Cisele, and this example is in excellent condition. Your nib is a LH Oblique cut, but not sure stub or cursive italic. That is one of the rarer P75 nibs.

 

The body (barrel and cap) that has the cross hatched pattern is sterling silver, and the nib is either 14K gold if USA-made and 18K gold if France-made.

 

I'm curious how much you paid for it.

 

Also, do share better photos of the section (grip) and the top of cap and back of barrel for better dating of this pen. Once soaked in water, the nib cam be removed by screwing it out for further cleaning. Be careful as the feed is very fragile.

You got a very nice Parker 75. These are great writers, and I love the positive "snap" when you click the cap down. If you open the back part of the body, you can show us if you have a converter or a cartridge (it takes either one). Nice purchase.

Thanks for the reply.

I got it for around 200 AUD.

Here are some more photos of grip and top of barrel and cap.

Best estimate IIRC would be from 1971-1973. As others have said, nice pen.

Can you show us a writing sample with this nib?

 

Thanks!
