Sold Item # S040208-01

Here is a later example of a US-made vermeil 75 FP in the classic crosshatch grid pattern.  

As you can see, there is a nice aged patina on this pen especially around the wide cap band.  This oxidation gives the pen an antiqued appearance with the subdued elegance of gold.

Being the later vermeil model, it comes with dished tassies and is marked "Sterling Vermeil Cap & Barrel" around the cap band indicating that 22K gold was electroplated onto sterling silver.

The condition is new but only the pen is available; no box or papers.  This pen would be a fine addition for the discriminating Parker 75 collector who insists on having pens in the best condition possible.
