From the album: Mercian’s pens
A picture of the 'M' that is incised/stamped on the underside of the feed of my Parker 25 that has black plastic trim. The presence of this 'M' makes me think that this grip-section & nib is a replacement unit of far more recent construction than the body & cap of this pen, which date from 1976-1978. I got this Parker 25 with black trim as a 'partner' for my Parker 25 that has blue trim. I like the 25 for its robust construction and 'no-nonsense' utilitarian design ethos. Its ugly 1970s-'futuristic' design also triggers nostalgia in me. I am happy to report that the pen is in great condition (even the logo on the clip looks minty), and that it writes really nicely.© Mercian

The 1970s pens did not have their nib-grades marked on their feeds, but this one has an 'M' incised/stamped on the underside of its feed (see other photo).
