Product Description
Type High-end modern fountain pen.
Product Name Sonnet .... we think this might be the 2006 Parker Sonnet Crocodile Vermeil Special Edition
Manufacturer and Year Parker, France -- 2005 (the date code is a clear T.I.)
Length 5-1/4"
Filling System The pen takes Parker style cartridges and converters. A Parker piston converter is installed.
Color We cannot find any hallmarks on the pen, though we do suspect it is vermail.
Nib MEDIUM 18k nib is very smooth with lovely tipping. It is a bit springy. The feed is labeled M. It's a good looking nib. The silver color in the two-tone design is ruthenium masking.
Condition Excellent condition. The section has microscratching and a visible seam line. The gold ring at the edge of the section has some pitting. Some of the silver vertical lines have a little blackening, especially toward the top of the barrel. Otherwise, there is just some microscratching on the barrel. The clip looks great with just a little plating wear on the very top where it fits into the end piece. (The "bend" you see on the cap band photo below is just a reflection.)
