Parker Vector Chiselled


Nosferatualso

Recommended Posts

I love Parker Vectors with an intensity that is possibly unwarranted. But in the long lonely hours of work they have kept me company. I felt the urge for a new stainless steel Vector and stumbled across version with a chiselled lid. Does anyone have any experience of these? Thank you fpn!!

Ricky may well be correct - I've two examples in SS, but they are uniformly smooth both on the cap and barrel surface. I assume that the word 'chiseled' refers to the pattern on the op's cap - which I've not seen - though not sure that description would be suitable …………. don't know what I'd call a cap looking like that - is the pattern in relief or intaglio?

The pattern looks related to Parkers cisele pattern used on the 75 (and others.) Cisele translates to chisel, so its not a leap to get to this cap pattern being listed as chiselled.

Yes, it's probably Luxor made Vector, but it could be made in UK. You should look on the cap where the date code is.

 

Nothing made in the UK for a few years now.

I believe that the Vectors are being made in Nantes in France along with the sonnet, jotter, and Duofold lines.

Well, they're *back* to being made in France, at any rate -- I got a purple one last year that was one of the re-issued French production models (most of my other ones were English-made, except for one US made one that I bought as NOS, still in the blister pack).

The location of manufacture and date code should be on the pen, if you have already gotten it. If it's something like an eBay listing, it might say in the description of the pen, or you could send a query to the seller.

ETA: I don't have any of the chiseled ones. I do have one English-made lighter which has the imprint and clip attachment for some company who's logo is a lion (I think it was a computer or electronics company, but I haven't found any information about the firm).

      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
