This update comes after the Washington DC Pen Show, one that I have started to attend last year after missing two in 2000 and 2001. As usual, it was an interesting show for me because I had the chance to meet friends and contributors. Luckily I also saw some more interesting 75s which provide me with new material for this edition.
First, a new contributor to this site is Tsachi Mitsenmacher from Israel, who provides us with pictures of a frosted Keepsake prototype. It was also Tsachi who delivered a presentation on the Parker 75s to the Israeli Pen Club a few months ago, which you can view by following this link. I am also grateful to my friend Lee Chait, a contributor who continues to give me information to share with you.
On behalf of the pen community, I thank them both for their thoughtful contributions to this website.
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. 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 things that are new in the Parker 75 Reference section.

Discovery of a new section type with chrome-plated collar and lines.
