    Parker made these special pens to be used to sign the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Disarmament Treaty on December 8, 1987. The signers were US President Ronald Reagan and USSR General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev and took place in Washington, D.C. These pens were basically the sterling silver
    Keepsake
    75 model with special engraving of signatures of the President and General Secretary which was provided by the White House to Parker. Underneath each signature is the title of the office held by these two men.
    According to Eugene Rohlman, Director of Public Relations, Parker custom produced 4 of these pens. (Remember that the Keepsake had been discontinued for several years by 1987.) I presume that 2 sets were made with the two different signatures. 2 were probably produced so that Parker could have a backup set. Of the four pens, one was given to each signing leader, Parker kept one, while the fourth was to be destroyed.
    A fact sheet dated 12/10/87 prepared by Mr. Owen Jones, Parker's Director of Manufacturing, reads as follows.
    Box:
    Made from solid, hand-waxed American Cherry wood with fluted edges.
    Royal blue interior with silver silk padded lid liner.
    The lid is laser engraved in fine detail with the General Secretary's Seal and the President's Seal. The accompanying text reads: "Washington, December 1987".
    "Swans-down" cleaning cloth with pinked edges is included.
    Pen Pouch:
    Fine grade Cashmere Calf, top-grain American leather, with a fold over flap tucked through a matching clasp band.
    Pouch contained accessories to enable the pen to be used as a rollerball, soft tip or fountain pen.
    Pen:
    Made in the 75 Sterling design from solid, hand polished Sterling Silver, produced in Janesville.
    The clip and trim parts are 22K gold, electroplate.
    The nib is medium 18K gold.
    The barrel is cut engraved with both the General Secretary's and President's signatures, which were provided by the White House. Their titles are engraved beneath the signatures in small block letters.
    The pen was placed in the gift box with the cap in the back end position.
