Parker Frontier Steel Body Made In Usa Price

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I am new to this forum, so I might need your guidance.

I am from India (kolkata). I came to know about a shop in central kolkata, the Pen Hospital.

I visited the shop yesterday and the shopkeeper handed me a Parker Frontier Steel body FP, made in USA.

He said that its a vintage and Parker stoppped manufacturing these in US in 1980's.

The pen costed me 23 USD (1400 INR). I am really baffled now, whether my purchase was profitable or not?

 

Regards

Rajeev

I bought four Parker Frontier Flighters NOS boxed and with paperwork (two gold trims and two chrome trims) for $16 each. Mine are made in UK, though.

Dr Sahib! Durrani Stationers in F-6 Markez (Super Market), Islamabad have loads of NOS Parker Frontiers. And, as I said in my earlier post, dead cheap. Plus Raj is talking abou Indian Rupees and not PKRs.

 

They also have the Pilot Metro for Rs.1000 (less than $10).

      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
