From the album: Mercian’s pens
This photo shows the shape and the colour (in English Spring sunshine) of the first Parker Urban that I bought. It has an 'M' nib on it. All of these Urbans had steel nibs. The nib is a decorated version of the nib that was used on the 'Jotter' and 'Vector' pens of the era. It is a very rigid n...© Mercian

A Warning to be careful with Lacquered pens I own a few pens that have lacquered finishes. The first lacquered pen that I bought is a Parker Urban, in the ‘Navy Blue’ finish with chrome trim. I bought it in 2013, and I always used to post the cap on the end of the pen whenever I wro...

My most-recently acquired Parker! This NOS pen is the latest example of the first version of the Parker Urban that I have bought. Its ‘Chiselled Ebony’ finish is a lacquer that has been laid over the brass of the pen’s body. It can appear to be black at first glance, but a clos...

From the album: Mercian’s pens
In case anyone is interested, I took (& have uploaded) this photo to show where I have worn away a small part of the lacquer on this pen’s barrel by ‘posting’ its cap. I bought this pen in 2013, and I always used to ‘post’ the cap on the back of the pen while writing with it. In 2022 I...

Parker Urban (first version) in various finishes.jpeg
Mercian posted a gallery image in FPN Image Albums
From the album: Mercian’s pens
I am unusual on FPN, in that I rather like this, first, version of the Parker Urban - enough to have amassed examples of it in four finishes (so far). Top-to-bottom they are: ’Chiselled Ebony’ - ‘M’ nib; ’London Cab Black’ - the glossy-black lacquer, not the matte-black - ‘F’ nib;...

How-to: Set, or change, personal info that others can see about me
A Smug Dill posted a blog entry in Sus Minervam docet
It helps to explore this yourself, revisiting once in a while if need be, and keep in mind where each of those personal info fields are entered. Don't leave it until the urge to change something specific to come upon you, and only then bother to ask the question! Invest the time surveying upfront, i... -
Hi all, can anyone tell me how to go about disassembling the cap of a first-series Parker Urban? Because I am a scapegrace klutz, I have bent the pen’s clip, and so I now need to get the cap apart in order to try to bend the clip back down towards the curved cap. I have several fi...

Hi, I was just looking through the Fountain Pen Reviews board, and noticed that there do not seem to be any reviews of the 2016 redesign/'refresh' of the Parker Urban yet (as of 2017-04-13). Or, indeed, any reviews of the redesigned version of the 'IM'. As these are both mid-range pens, I am sligh...

Parker Urban Black & Gold Review (2017 Model) The old Parker Urban never got stellar reviews—its build quality was somewhat questionable, the pen had a weird shape, and the nib was just plain awkward. However, with the 2017 Urban refresh, I can confidently say that parker has learned from the m...

Greetings to all of you. This is my first pen review and it is of the pen Parker Urban. I love this pen as for 50 dollars, I think it is a real STEAL. Appearance and design-9/10 This pen looks classy with black and gold trim. The peculiar shape of the pen has given it a plus point. I was planning...

Hey guys, I need your advice!! I always liked the Parker Urban but didn't really think it was worth its 60 EUR price tag. I found a nice deal on ebay for 17,5 GBP + 6 GBP shipping (brand new) and thought I should go for it. The pen arrived today and although I would say that it is genuine, there...

So I have a Parker Urban in bay city blue that came with a medium nib and I'm looking for another nib section in fine instead. The chrome collar just beneath the nib also seems to have problems with leaking on my current nib section. Anyone know where I can get replacements? I tried theonlinepencomp...

I received my Parker Urban Premium in Metallic White, M nib, last Christmas, and have been using it regularly for close to a year now. Right now it's inked with a mixture of Diamine Yellow and Pelikan Brilliant Red. These are my thoughts on how I feel about the pen! Appearance and design http://...

I'm looking for a pen that costs around £40(price of converter included). I would prefer it to be a wet writer, or just not dry. I'm considering the Faber-Castell Ambition, TWSBI 580, Parker Urban and Lamy Studio Any thoughts or suggestions?

Parker Urban Fountain Pen – Metallic Chrome review The Parker Urban comes in both rollerball and fountain pens. I received my Urban fountain pen in December 2011. It was my first fountain pen, and I still love it. Appearance (10/10): A Work of Art Of course this is subjective, but I think the...
