Help Identify This Pen

Hello all. I recently purchased an interesting looking Eversharp fountain pen. Here is the link:

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVERSHARP-FOUNTAIN-PEN-IN-GOLD-PLATED-NOS/353321776779?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

 

Its obvious that the pen is from the Parker/Eversharp era and Im guessing the pen was probably only sold in France, but considering that Parker put Eversharp towards the economy range, its interesting to see a nice gold plated barleycorn pen with a gold nib from that era. There probably very little documentation on this model but I am just curious. Thanks

You're the one who got it!  I spaced out on the ending time and was hoping it'd be relisted again.  Don't have any info on it though.

And I didn't have the heart to tell her why.
And there wasn't a part of me that didn't want to say goodbye.

Hello. Thanks for the input regardless. Haha yeah I jumped on it pretty quick. I found it to be a real good looker especially for a Parker era Eversharp.

It certainly is eye-catching.  I profess to almost zero knowledge on the more modern French models.  I would wonder if the nib follows the French-typical 18k gold, or is the more contemporary gold plated steel.

I was thinking since the box says 'Plume OR' that should mean its a solid gold nib. Ive seen that old French Waterman boxes tend to say 'Plume OR' as well when the pen had an 18k nib, though I may be wrong.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
