From the album: Mercian’s pens
The World’s most-faked pen?
This is the first Parker Sonnet that I have bought.
I have tagged it as a ‘flighter’, although that term might, strictly-speaking, perhaps ought only to be applied to steel pens that have gold trim.
It was made in Q4 of 2007.
It has a stainless steel ‘M’ nib.
It is in the ‘brushed steel’ finish, and has chromed trim.
I think that this vintage of this finish has the prettiest cap band, and also one of the nicer nib-imprints.
And it is a genuine Made-in-France Parker Sonnet, rather than one of the many cheap Chinese fakes with which the interwebs are sadly awash nowadays!
