Prototype Vermeil Florence Pattern 75 - Frankenpen

[mitto]

I am in receipt of photos from my supplier in karachi of a very beautiful 75 fountain pen and ballpoint set that the Parker 75.com has listed (prototype at #37) as 'vermeil florence pattern with black laquer'. The pen has a strange section and a USA made 14k nib that has the heart shape breather hole. Also someone has put some home made/modified converter in the pen. I am inclined to buy the pen as I already have some spare 75 sections, nib units and original Parker squeeze converters.

 

Was wondering if some FPNers would be able to identify the nib section stuffed in the pen. I hope the cluch system inside the cap has not been modified so as to fit this alien nib section.

 

Here is the pen.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like a great find!

If the price is right I would not hesitate buying this set, whatever weird section the FP may have.

Thanks for the advice. I have already snagged it.

Great, you simply had no other choice than buying this set!

 

Maybe you can contact Lih-Tah Wong at Parker75.com to find out which P75 section belongs in this pen.

 

Really interesting is the ballpoint, which may be the rarest of the two.

Thank you, Ken. Yes, the feed looks to be from a Duofold. And the section probably belongs to some Chinese pen. But what is the nib from?

Yes, Dr. Sahib. It is beautiful. Sterling Silver Vermeil Prototype. Even if not a prototype, it is stunningly beautiful. And, I alrady have spare sections and nib units for the P75. Awaiting impatiently the arrival of the set.
