Product Name Parker Classic aka International Classic
Manufacturer and Year Parker, France. -- 1986 (the date code is a clear YC indicating 1986).

Filling System Takes Parker-style cartridges and converters. Because the barrel is quite slender not all Parker converters will fit. A piston converter is installed. The modern Parker piston converter does not fit.

Nib Medium Parker gold plated steel triangular nib. There is an M on the nib collar. The nib writes smoothly. Its design is based off of the Parker 180 reversible nib but it wasn't advertised as such.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents or dings. This is a smallish, handsome pen in a great color pattern. The barrel has a few long scratches but nothing that penetrates the enamel. The cap and clip look great. The imprints are clear and in red.
