Product Description
Type 5th Technology Pen. It's essentially a more ergonomic felt tip pen.
Product Name Parker Ingenuity 5th, the 5th refers to a "fifth type of writing system".
Manufacturer and Year Parker, the pen doesn't say where it was made on it. -- 2011, the date code above the section threads is a clear IU. The model was announced October 1, 2011. This was a launch design and is still being made.
Length 5-1/2" and a bit wide. This is the large, not the slim size.
Filling System Takes Parker 5th refills. They're the length of international rollerball refills with a felt tip but they have a different section to better secure the refill. A somewhat working black refill is installed and it will ship with a dummy refill as well. We will also enclose a new, sealed refill.
Color Black rubber with chrome trim. The barrel has a striped pattern where alternating stripes are smooth and tire tread. The trim is chrome over brass. Parker describes the finish as "lacquered with a soft rubber effect."
Condition Very nice condition. There is a little wear in the rubber at the edge of the flat bottomed barrel and a shiny spot on the cap where the rubber finish has come off. The date code is very clear as is the cap imprint and emblem. The pen surface has speckles of uneven finish. Very early plating wear on the clip is also present. No cracks, chips, dings, dents, or other scratches.
