Help Me Date A Parker Sonnet 11T Gold Plated

[orville]

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 carat plating it is - theres no hallmarks aside 11T and sonnet.

 

 

 

the dusty texture in the pics is literally just a little dust from the casing's fabric .

any pointers appreciated .

 

i think it should be from the mid 80s not sure it makes sense.

 

thanks in advance for your time

IIT is the date code. Meaning the pen was made in second quarter 1995.

Your pen looks to be the Dimonite G model.

thanks Donor pen ! yes indeed that looks right. though it was of the same dates as the others, which are around the 70s and 80s.

You are welcome.

 

The Sonnet was introduced in 1993-4. So no question of a Parker Sonnet from 70s or 80s. Enjoy your pen.
