This is for a matte black Parker Sonnet with a personalization of "John Livick." John was supposed to be a Parker exec who also worked for successor company owners. There is some history there, murky to me. The pen is never inked, fine gold plated nib, and it comes in a Parker box. I never used this pen after buying it, and I surmise I bought in my Sonnetmania period. I have enough Sonnets that sorta, kinda work, and don't see a requirement for keeping this one. If you would like it, add a post. If there is more than one post, I'll random pick a winner. I'll let this run a week to see if anybody wants it.

Don't have many pens (my grandfather's osmiroid and a pilot metro) and was really thinking it'd be nice to have a new edition to my growing obsession! I'd appreciate it if I were considered as well!

I will very much appreciate being included in the drawing.

A sincere man am I
From the land where palm trees grow,
And I want before I die
My soul's verses to bestow.
 
All those moments will be lost in time.
Like tears in rain.
Time to die.

Haha that's excellent. I never tough about googling the people who are inscribed on pens.

      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
