Parker Penman Available At Local Parker

Recommended Posts

A week ago I saw they have four colors of Panman listed on the site, and I asked about the availability. I know they are discontinued, this is why it was interesting.

They answered they have the "Ruby, Brown, Black and Blue".

I guess this means the Ruby, Mocha, Ebony and Sapphire.

As I know they are pretty high maintenance inks, so not sure if I'll try them though...

I have had the Mocha and it is a fantastic brown colour. Alas I did not know about the high maintenance...

 

Anyway, it would be a good idea to buy a bottle just for the bottle, with that nice insert to dip your pen in. (something like the old Skrip bottles)

 

Wish my local shop had some.

Buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are lots of high maintenance Noodler's and Private Reserve inks out there being used every day. Could well be those are as high maintenance or higher than the Pennman.

 

The problem with the Pennman inks was no one knew about cleaning the pens back in the last century. Pre-goggle, pre FPN...the Dark Ages of the last century.

I used pens as a kid in the silver dime days, and no one I knew of even knew about cleaning a pen. I didn't.

 

You know about cleaning your pen regularly....so buy or at least tell them here with money where they can buy.

 

You have heard of investments.....that stuff can be swapped for gold coin.

OK so, I've contacted them and they said they might ship abroad, but the shipping costs/methods and payment method should be discussed first.

Their stock is limited, but you can drop a mail to parker at parker dot hu and ask about the details.

 

I can help with shipping if someone would need it, just drop me a pm. ;)

Hi. I can see four colours listed. Could you translate the colournames?

 

 

You speak of brown, but I cannot find that, I guess I see blue/sapphire, raspberry, emerald and ebony black on their site.

 

Thanks

Yes, you are correct. :thumbup:

They don't have the Mocha listed, but as I know they have that too.

 

I have ordered a bottle of the Sapphire...

I will send them an email next week.

 

 

BTW: The prices they list for the pens are outrageous compared to prices in some other EU countries!

You wear goggles when you clean your pens?

With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature.

Ooooops :headsmack:

Sorry, yes....I meant that for the inks.

 

Most pens are overpriced here, like you saw. There are few what can be had for a somewhat more reasonable price, but only with one nib size, or in one color for example...This is a small market and everyone wants a big profit...

But I had some good finds in the used market. And most inks have good prices, so at least I can get those here.

I hope it is at least a steampunk one :lticaptd:

Love these steampunk goggles..... Where did that pic come from? would like to see more...

 

 

About penprices: There are some trustworthy e-bay shops out here that will send to Hungary, and as you are in the EU that would be no hassle I think...

Yes there are great places to choose from. I have many of my stuff from abroad...

The high shipping prices are what scare me most of the time..

OK. I called them about a minute ago.

They are very friendly and trying their best, but they haven't really had too many international (especially from overseas) orders yet. So please be patient with them. ;)
