Here is a Keepsake made as a prototype for Tiffany & Company and never released to market. Notice the lack of the line to form the cap band area or any inscription of the Parker name, logo or its sterling silver content.
It is difficult to accurately date the pen but the clip arrowhead size and the gripping section with the wide gold colored band give me clues to guess that this pen was made in the early to mid-1970s.

Besides the engraved Tiffany name on the cap, the cap tassie has a special insert with the letter T, which is similar to the insert found on the Custom Laque BP series for Tiffany.

Unlike this Keespake prototype the Custom Laque BP had the usual Parker name engraved on the cap.
