After trying a vintage 51, and two vintage Sonnets, I want to try a new out of the box Parker pen with a gold nib. I really liked the way the 51 wrote, and one of the Sonnets, they felt nearly frictionless and the way I write that's helpful. They were all Medium nibs. The options for tha...

Parker Sonnet Sterling Silver Cisele Fountain Pen With 14K Nib !?
FPcollection posted a topic in Parker
Hello everyone! I have always seen/heard of Parker Sonnets with 18K nibs, and these usually also have some flex. However, I was wondering whether any Sonnet, be it a Sterling Silver or otherwise, could have a 14K nib... Any clarity on the issue would be genuinely appreciated! Regards, SS -
Hi folks, I am thinking of buying myself a present (ok, I'll be honest - I mean that I wants a new Shiny Thing I does, oh yes!), and I would like some advice from you before I Succumb to the Temptation to blow what is actually rather lot of money for me. I am trying to choose between a current prod...

Many of the Parker fans in love with the vintage pens, yet it's not easy to find a good one in the market. I have few pens but no Parker and I recently come across some Sonnets in a shop and the pens look fine. [1] Having read some threads here that saying Sonnets have the hard start and skippin...

Hi there. I have created a new blog, listing some of my favorite pens, and there is a section on how to achieve better penmanship. I would love to get some comments from the readers of the Fountain Pen Network about the pens. I would also like to have your ideas on how to achieve clearer, nicer-look...

Hello again, Grateful if anyone can provide more info on this. Its part of a fairly large collection of pens that were gifts in my family - i am sorting through them keeping the ones i like the feel / writing style of and moving on with the rest of them. This one is fairly heavy, not sure what...

Sometimes in spite of researching the hell out of things on the web small details escape; in this case I hadn't realized the Sailor Pro Gear Standard was smaller than even my shortest M400... No complaints though, luckily it's still big enough for my large hands, the section is nice and thick and th...

Hi All, Recently I've purchased a Parker Sonnet Matt Black CT Fountain Pen with M nib from a reputed pen boutique in Kolkata.The imprint near the cap lip is: PARKER SONNET FRANCE T. The pen is fitted with a piston type delux Parker converter which i'm quite sure made in France.But the sticker on th...

Hey FP network! I'm currently a college student and got into fountain pens by turning pens on a lathe in my garage. I grew such a liking to making them that I decided to buy a few good pens to use everyday at work and school. I've acquired a Lamy Safari, Cross Bailey, Platinum Preppy, Parker Urban...

Hello! Sorry in advance for a noob question, but this is the first time I've encountered the problem... When I was cleaning my Parker Sonnet this weekend, I noticed that there was a bit of a leak in the section of my fountain pen. I've noticed that my Parker has been drying up faster than usual l...

I bought this Sonnet on eBay and it looks genuine to me. What I find confusing is that the 18K two tone nib and the grip section are same as on Fougere or Chinese Laque version but the cap and barrel are Stainless Steel GT which I think should have steel nib. The pen looks genuine under close exam...

I Recently did a clean up at my rental house and found several fountain pens the tenants left behind (along with all sorts of rubbish). One of them is a Parker Sonnet. I've never owned one before and I know that there are a lot of fake ones around. So I took it apart, gave it a thorough wash, air dr...

Hi guys, I have a 1998 Parker Sonnet Premier Red Lacquer in Pristine Mint condition. I was wondering what the price of this would be, I've checked Ebay and Amazon but hey don't have this pen. On the cap it says Parker Sonnet France then the date code IIIE (1998) On the nib there is a F for Fine and...

Hi all. I'm rather taken with the idea of an entry-level Sonnet. I know the modern ones have their detractors, but I'm really enjoying my Parkers at the moment and want to add another contemporary pen to accompany my matte black IM Premium (again, a somewhat maligned pen, but one that works reall...

Could anyone throw light on whether a Sonnet Firedance would have "Made in France" imprinted anywhere...say, on the gold rim of the cap etc. As far as my knowledge goes, there is not any. A kind confirmation would be really appreciated...or am I incorrect in what I am stating? Good day! - SS

I just purchased a vintage gold Parker Sonnet ballpoint. The ink needed to be replaced, but when I tried to match up available refills from local stores, I noticed that there is a slight difference in the actual ink capsule. (see photo) It's just enough of a difference to prevent my pen from using...

So a while back a fountain pen fell into my hands and it worked fantastically as far as I was concerned as having never used a fountain pen. Unfortunately one day I dropped it and the tip of the nib broke off. I have decided to scrap the idea of buying a new nib. I have a parker sonnet 10 or 7 (can'...

Feb 4 while visiting the National Bookstore in the Mall of Asia (off Manila Bay) I purchased a Dark Red Parker Sonnet fountain pen. From seeing the pen advertised in the at pen stores in the U.S. or selling on Ebay I expected the nib to be gold plated. I was surprised when I returned home an...

Hi, This is my first actual forum post, so I apologize if I'm doing it wrong. I foolishly allowed someone to borrow my 2011 Parker Sonnet Ciselé with an 18k medium nib, and they dropped it. It landed on the nib and bent the tip towards the feed. I'm looking for advice on who to send it to fo...
