Product Description
Type Modern high-end fountain pen.
Product Name Sonnet.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in France -- 1997 (the date code on the cap band is IIP).
Length 5-1/4"
Filling System Taakes Parker style cartridges, or you can fill it with bottled ink via the included Parker piston converter.
Color Premier Red, mottled red and black lacquer with gold plated trim.
Nib MEDIUM Parker 18k nib is smooth with nice tipping. The section is marked M. It's got a little flexibility to it, a nice springy-ness like you find in modern nibs, not like vintage flex nibs.
Condition Near mint condition except for a tiny pinpoint nick in the lacquer finish on the cap. There's some very light wear on the cap as well, but otherwise the pen is near perfect, with no cracks, dings, dents, plating wear, or personalization. We couldn't detect any ink in the nib or feed, so this pen may never have been inked or even dipped. The original Sonnet tag is still on the cap.
