It should say Parker 61 on it somewhere (I don't have any to hand at this precise second, so I don't remember if it's on the barrel, the cap, or the hood). But I'm betting it's a knockoff, because I think all of mine have the "arrow clip" on them, and don't recall there being an ink window (which this one appears to have).

Do you have the pen? If so, remove the barrel and see if it's got a capillary filler or Parker converter. If you don't have the pen and saw it for sale someplace like the Bay of Evil, contact the seller and ask for more pix (especially of the fill system, but also ask for information about any imprints).

ETA: also read up on the 61 model in the article on parkercollector.com -- Tony Fischier is a wealth of knowledge of all things Parker Pens, and is my go-to source for information.

Thank you! I saw the pen on eBay and was wondering if it was worth the price. I do not have it. I have a 61 and it does not look anything like it. I will check the link which you referenced.

 

Once again, many thanks!

Definitely not a Parker. It might be a Chinese pen made by Wing Sung or Hero.

+1 I agree..it looks like a cheap chinese model, syringe pump filler...Regards

Some of this pens write surprisingly well, so ink it and try it.

Thank you, everyone! I apologise for not responding earlier. I appreciate the advice on the make of the pen. I think that I will forego this one. Have a blessed weekend!

      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
