I hav a Parker pen with an integral section / nib that I really don't believe is a T-1. Anyone know of another model similar? Any known copies?

 

I have a pic (although poor quality) Which might help...

 

Suggestions welcome - as well as guesses at value...

 

The pen is metal, has an integral nib / section, has a CC filler, says Parker on the barrel, but does not appear to be of extremely high quality - at least the fittings don't. The slit is short, and does not terminate in a hole.

Oh, yes - the Arrow clip doesn't have the 'feathers', the nib slit is short, and doesn't terminate in a hole...

It's a Falcon.Late seventies early eighties pen.

They didn't have the feather detail on the clip and there was no hole on the nib

There is plenty of information if you have alook on google.

There are some for sale on the dreaded ebay.

Gerry,

 

I don't know why I didn't check my copy of FPOTW just now :doh: - there's a picture of it in there! :bunny1:

 

Yup, I concur with maxrhino, it's a Falcon. Here's what Andreas Lambrou said about it:

 

"During the 1970s new product lines were introduced, including model 50 (Falcon). Like the T-1, the Falcon featured a nib, which was an integral part of the gripping section. Parker's advertisements boosted the Falcon as the second pen without a separate nib, the first being the quill. The line included stainless steel, gold-plated, matt brown and matt black finishes termed TX. Although relatively modern, these now discontinued pens have become collectable pieces."

 

 

raf.

You can't always get what you want... but if you try sometimes... you just might find... you'll get what you need...

Thanks guys. I think Falcon was mentioned during a chat I had recently - forgot to pick up on that.

 

Great help you've been. Off to Google...

      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
