A Parker Prototype BP ?

[JotterAddict62]

Greetings All

I stopped at an auction on 5/7/22, a few Parker Jotters to be had. I was a nice person to this couple I see from time to time at the auctions. I did not bid on what I was there for [ 1st year Jotters ].

I told the couple if the lot went for more than what they were willing to pay I would then step in and bid. They got a good deal on the lot. I did pick up about 20 [ 1960's - 70's ], Jotters some 80's to 90's Jotters,

two P51 specials and a few Big Reds. Nothing to write home about.

 

One pen maybe a prototype?

 

 

 

 

The pen is clip actuated. This is something I have not seen before. The feathers on the clip looks like a P61 style.

The refill says the following:

 

Permanent Point Ball Pen

Ink Recharger

The Parker Pen Company

Made In U.S.A.

 

The nose piece that screws into the pen barrel is all in one piece that is spring loaded.

I am wondering if the refill cartridge is also a prototype?

There are 3 white lines running the length of the barrel. One is centered with the clip with the other two centered as in a triangle.

 

Well anyhow this pen is a keeper for the different [ unusual ] Parkers that I pick up.

Correction, there are three machined grooves running the length of the barrel.  Mine is marked C 19 and it has the same refill.

Thanks, I did not notice the grooves.
