The Parker Premier, Bp Cicelé

[lovingball]

There are a few things in life that despite the progress remain always the same. There is no need to change them because people like them and they will always like them the way they are.

One of this things is the Parker cicelé sterling silver.

 

 

Some tiny features has been changed over the years like the crown or the shape of the clip, but the overall finishing of this pen has been always the same.

My Parker is the Premier edition that I bought in 1985, this model was on the market until 1992-1994. It was introduced in 1983, made in France.

The finishing pattern is definitely the most interesting feature of this pen and most probably the most successful finishing that Parker has ever used on its pens.

 

 

Beautiful overall look, whatever model you are looking at the score is 10

The weight is good, 25gr, even though I would rather prefer it around 35-40 grams. Length is 130 mm which is quite normal for a twist mechanism ball point pen. However, I think that the Premier version is longer than the most recent Sonnet model.

Thanks to the new Parker refills, especially the gel one, writing is a real pleasure, the pen has a perfect balance and due to the finishing the grip is fantastic particularly when your hands are a little bit wet for some emotional feelings ( I remember I used a lot this pen during my college tests).

 

 

My conclusion is that this is a fantastic pen, I bet that every pen collector has one of these, either the fountain pen or the ball point, or the all versions.

Yes, it shoud be a good pen with quinkflow cardridge, but it is'nt a fountain pen.

I have the pen, the pencil and the fountain pen. They are nice. Parker is quality. We sold Parker when my family had a drugstore in San Juan, Puerto Rico

It is a very nice looking pen. I would say 'classy'.

Here is my FP. Nice 18K nib, very smooth. It does dry out if it sits for a day or two (snap cap). The pen is a little small for my taste but the quality is excellent.

I had the ballpoint but unfortunately it broke withing a few years. Pity. It did write well.

I have the same pen, it's great! Especially with the Parker Quinkflow refills. Made me start to use ballpoints again. Now I just "have to" complete the collection with the fountain pen version as well!

 

Edit: I think I made a mistake there, I don't have the same pen, I have the Parker Sonnet Sterling Silver Cisele ballpoint pen, it looks like your pen anyway
