no good man will consent to lose but with his life.

I only have 3 sterlings and like them all-- a Sheaffer Imperial, a Mabie Todd Vest, and an Eversharp Ventura. My favorite is the unlikeliest one -- the Eversharp. Just based on its superb looks (precise lines, subtle stripes), heft (slim but dense), and balance, it wins. The nib is a good F with no flex but quite pleasurable for smallish writing. It surprises me that this pen doesn't have more of a following, and imo is an unknown/underrated gem.

Happy to also respond to this zombie thread (raised from the dead!). Here's a shot of my Parker 75 Sterling Cisele.

Sorry for the poor cell phone pic, but it's just another Parker 75 Cisele that we've all seen many a time, 'cept that it does have some extra printing on the cap lip, something or other about Spanish treasure, whatever that means. ;)

The Spanish Treasure "75" was one of the first "Limited Edition" pens I am aware of and was issued in 1965/66 IIRC. The silver was from Spanish silver from the silver fleet sunk back in 1715 and recovered by Mel Fisher off the Florida coast. With the original box and papers it would be worth something north of $1000.00.

 

In addition to the markings on the band there should be Mexican hallmarks on the cap and body end pieces.

I've got a small pile of sterling pens, picked up over time. My favorites of the bunch are the Sheaffer Imperial Touchdown (so much that I have 2) and the Pelikan M625. The Parker Cisele was also purchased from Richard Binder as part of one of his monthly tray offerings, and reportedly was a part of his personal collection for awhile. They are:

Pelikan M625

Sheaffer Imperial TD x2

Sheaffer 834

Sheaffer 826

Parker Sonnet Cisele (early version, 1993)

Parker 75 Cisele (flat ends)

Silver Eagle (USA, approx late 90's, early. 2000's)

 

Fun thread.

I have a Waterman silver overlay ring top. It is a eyedropper safety but needs repair so I have never used it. I have 4 Parker 75's. One has an extra fine nib and one has an italic nib. I like both of them but seldom ever use any of them.

And the end of all our exploring

I need more Sterling Pens now

Anyone do a modern overlay pen?

Henry Simpole does quite a few.
