The first is a Parker 36, I think this shows how much more stunning silver pens are as compared to the same pen in GF or 14K (Parker 35).

 

The second pen is a 14K Parker 40-- not too sure about the cap which I doubt is correct.

Here is another extremely rare Parker which is the only one known. See if you can ID it.

 

 

Looks like a demonstrator Giant (Bakelite)?

Click filler. But you know I know this. The click here isn't so much the click but tather the material. 23 24 ?

 

Perhaps under appreciated.

 

Will we see the etched silver overlays?

Rarest I own, I think, is a Nassau Green "51" found in an antique store. $9.00, including tax, plus the usual refurbishing fee.

 

I also own a RHR Duofold Senior whose original owner was Elmer C. Walzer which gives the pen considerable historical interest. It's a wonderful writer. See: http://www.nytimes.com/1974/05/19/archives/elmer-c-walzer-of-upi-dies-at-80-financial-editor-until-1960-wrote.html?_r=0

 

Favorite Parker would be one of several Mk I Victories with velvet soft medium nibs. Those Newhaven folks knew how to make a nib.

Well done. I've never actually handled one.

Acid Etched. Fine silver would also qualify as rare and among the favorites.

The pen is a Parker CX

 

Here are a few acid etched-- a Parker 24 and a Parker 32 BF. The BF is fairly common--the ED is much rarer but I don't have time to find my picture of one.

I doubt anyone would recognize the last pen as it is the only one I have ever seen -- a Parker AX.

 

Here's a easier one

Solid, yes?

AX is impressive.

The AX is solid 14K. The entire x series and the Pen of Pens were all solid gold. Unlike Waterman, Parker did not do solid gold much in the early pens-- Parker 40, some Giraffes, some Parker 35s, etc.

 

The Parker 11 above is GF. Nicer in SS of course.

Heres a pen that looks like it should be 14K but is GF-- never seen one in 14K.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
