Parker Arrow 1980S Photo Thread

[PenHero]

Hi, Folks!

 

Thought I would start a new thread on the 1980s Parker pens. Parker made a lot variations of these pens. Let’s see them all!

 

This is a Parker Arrow 12 Karat Gold Filled fountain pen c. 1981-1987. The Arrow introduced the three faceted clip that was also used on the inexpensive Vector. The cap and barrel are engraved with a repeating 5 line and blank pattern. The cap is stamped PARKER on the front and MADE IN ENGLAND on the back. The gripping section has a textured finish. The gold plated stainless steel semi inlaid nib is stamped PARKER.

Hi!

HThe Arrow introduced the three faceted clip that was also used on the inexpensive Vector.

Well, while Vector and Arrow share the same general shape clip, the one in the Arrow is two pieces (a quite solid "front" that gets adjusted to the cap by a second "flexy" piece on its back), the Vector's one is a simpler and thinner one piece clip.

Thanks for the tip!
