I am really excited about this issue. I have had the very good fortune and privilege to share with your photos of some extraordinary pens. While the owner wishes to remain anonymous, he belongs to a rather exclusive club whose membership list is very short indeed -- the owners of Parker 75 treaty pens!
But that's not all. I welcome two new contributors to this site: Carlos Kaplan and Mark Peysakhovich. Carlos provided me with access to the aluminum and French Keepsake prototypes and also the US date coded sterling grid FP. Mark's kindness allowed me to acquire and show you a rare solid 18K basketweave 75 FP. Thanks Carlos and Mark!
As always, I welcome your feedback/criticisms on this site. I am always interested in hearing from you, especially if you have some 75 that you don't see here. Even better if you want to sell it to me. Or if you are looking for a particular 75 or have need of parts, drop me a note. I might just have it. Send me email at the LTW@Parker75.com address.
Thanks for visiting!
Here are the updates to the Parker 75 Reference section.
Yet another Keepsake variant, this one must surely be a prototype. Curiously it is inscribed as being made in France!
Here is what I think may be a prototype of the 75 in a grid pattern made out of aluminum.
New book was added for close relatives of the 75 family, the Parker Premiers and T-1, though the page for the latter is still under construction.
Information on the felt tip and rollerball sections.
I thought that Parker's date coding of the 75s began with the French-produced models. I now have proof that this was wrong. Here is an example of a US sterling grid 75 FP that is date coded.
