Help Potentially Fake Parker


dragonmiroff

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I need alittle help. I believe that a pen I brought on the Bay of E may be fake. It is an older style Parker Urban rollerball pen. I have the fountain and ball pen and wanted to add to the collection. I expressed my concerns to the seller and they basically said he gets from newell and to be careful as its defamatory.

 

Just in case I am wrong, I wanted a 2nd opinion.

 

So the main differences between them are

 

* chisel marks along the top edge of the cap between the silver cap and the pearl lacquer

* The chisel marks are not as defined nor shaped the same.

* The box is smaller than usual and has a weird felt covered plastic tray that does not hold the pen properly.

* The parker name stamped on the silver band on the bottom of the cap is not clearly stamped.

 

 

Now, As I say, I could be completely wrong so if any of you have similar pens would you mind having a look and giving me your opinion.

      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
