Identify This Parker Beta Industria Argentina

[pitonyak]

I spent a bunch of time looking at images trying to identify this pen (here http://parkerpens.net/apis.html)

 

This pen is very straight for the base and the cap reminding me of the "Big Red" pens that I remember from the mid 70's, but the clip is wrong.

 

The NIB says parker.

 

With a 10X loop, the black part in the center says "BETA" in one part and "INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA".

 

The base of the pen has a script B, not that it came out well in the pictures.

 

I did find an article about Parker manufacturing pens in Argentina.

 

Very appreciative of any information that you can provide.

 

And as was stated once, I really need to say please, so..... Please tell me what you know about this pen.

Looks to be a Argentina specific model that shares characteristics both with Vector and Jottor FP (Parker 15).

Nice, that would explain a lot.

I think youve unknowingly answered your own question in the title of the post: the model is Beta and it was made in Argentina. You can search using that info to find more, but I can point out that the Betas for sale as new pens on Amazon are made by the Luxor company in India after licensing the use of the name and pen design.

Thank you for your kind reply... I had searched for a few things, but at this point I do not remember all of the things that I had searched. I will search some more specifically for Beta.

The new Luxor Beta comes with different design.
