Parker Second Generation Gold Plated 75 Fountain Pen

Description

Here is a another example of the very popular 75 pen. This second generation 75, indicated by the graduated ring at the end of the section without the “0” mark on the turn indicator and the dimpled tassie ends on the barrel and cap. This 75, which was manufactured between1964 and 1969 has an adjustable nib 14K Fine nib unit that can be rotated to suit your most comfortable writing position. To do that without getting your fingers full of ink, Parker shipped a special wrench to use to turn the replaceable nib unit, which is included. The section is roughly triangular and patterned to give the fingers a better grip. This pen is 14K gold plated except for the section and has a cross hatched pattern to the finish. The cap seats with a firm click as it snaps closed. Being a Cartridge/converter pen, it can be used with cartridges or filled from a bottle, which of course is much cheaper. Pen will be shipped with a Parker squeeze converter (which replaced the original “fat” design) The more streamlined squeeze converter can be used in all the other pens that came after. (see pictures) If you choose not to use the converter and use cartridges instead, remove the converter by pulling it out.
I find no dents, dings, personalization, or scratches. There are the following brassing instances: High point brassing at top of clip and arrow end of the clip. Barely visible are slight brassing on the edges of the cap and barrel tassies.Other than those the pen is in excellent condition.
Total package includes Pen, converter and nib unit wrench
At 83 I'm selling some of the hundreds of pens in my collection. All have been refurbished when I bought them, and are filled, not dipped (except where mint or other stated problems prevent it) written with and tested again when I put them up for sale. I am very careful to show every aspect of the pens, so nothing is left to the imagination. My descriptions and close up photos go the extra mile, so please examine them carefully.
Never, ever
put drafting ink such as India ink or Carters drawing ink in the pen. It will ruin the pen. Only fountain pen ink, of which there are
endless choices available. If you are bidding on a lever fill fountain pen, remember that to fully fill the sac, after immersing the nib and a little of the section in ink and returning the lever to its closed position, count to ten before withdrawing the pen from the ink, to give the sac enough time to fill.
