Parker Nib Charts

December 31, 2010

Happy New Year!

I imagine it would be difficult to find nib size charts for all Parker models made since they started, however, besides the parker75.com site, does any one else know where a chart as such might be found?

thank you,

Flattop Duofold Nibs in the Parker Duofold book. I don't have a 51 book to comment on. Jim

There is a chart in the 51 book. (Tom aka Old Griz has an electronic copy and he may spot this and post it.)

There are pictures in the Duofold book as mentioned and pictures in the Vacumatic book.

I blathered about nib codes for 45s a while back, I don't remember where and don't have my list where I am.

Maybe this is a little help:

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?/topic/18865-parker-sonnet-nib-grades/ refers in post #7 to http://www.penservicing.co.uk/Repairs/parker_nibs111003.xls Five excel sheets of sizes and prices dated 2003.

(and now I know to whom I am obliged for having that document on my pc. Thank you, Antoniosz!)

EDIT: typo's, & penservicing seems not to work now - if necessary, PM me for the file.

I have mangled my vintage Parker 45 S nib. Anyone have a lead on a replacement?

I was studying "Da Book" and used far too large an alcohol flame to try to set the nib on the feed. Things got a little melted. I'm also writing to Richard Binder regarding possible repair.
