Prototype 62 - Stainless steel T-1

Created 12-31-2011




This is the prototype of a stainless steel Flighter T-1 fountain pen, something that is extremely difficult to find.  While I have handled dozens of normal production T-1s, this is only the second time I have held a stainless T-1 prototype in my hands.

As you can see below, just like the production model in titanium, even the grip and integral nib are made of stainless steel.  Of course the tipping material is the usual glob of Parker's alloy.

 

The ends look like the normal T-1, with the red plastic jewels in them.
