Parker 45 nib codes

[LeftyJim]

Thanks for the information folks. Nice to know what Ive got. Though now I need to flog it as a right handed oblique aint much good to this lefty.

 

I even understood that joke! I think. Hitchhikers reference isnt it? Only seen the film once. A long long time ago.

A recent Ebay purchase in the condition it arrived in. The Ebay photos were out of focus but the nib looked interesting, I thought a broad or double broad from the blurred picture. When the pen arrived yesterday I was a bit confused by the 'W' marking but thanks to Hood's post above and the links therein (particularly the third link with Spikey Mike's post) the mystery is solved.

This is pure speculation on my part, but it may be worth considering the possibility that some, or many, of the numbered P45 nib collars were never actually made. They could have been listed on this chart for the P45 nib types that were made and in circulation, and the number could have been an internal reference used at the time to mirror the codes used for the P75, but the actual collars produced were all stamped with the letters we're more familiar with.

 

 

Hello.

 

Please excuse me for digging up the old post, as I have come across an example.

 I found an example of pen tip size display using numbers.

 Apparently,the number display was also displayed on the nib package  .

 It's a guess from here.

 By displaying the numbers on the nib package, PARKER can understand that the numbers were used for the distribution of parts.

I think this supports Mr. hood's hypothesis.

I will attach an image.

 The numbers are small, so please pinch out to check. 

 

I'm sorry, the translation was omitted and what I want to tell you doesn't work.

 

thank you very much.

It means Extra Fine nib.

"E" and "F" are easy to misunderstand.

 So "X"?

Or is it the standard in English ?

When stamping numbers, users are confused.

Perhaps because "E" looks very similar to "F"? Hard for me to read such small text anymore.

Hi Number99, does that accountant nib (62 Acct) have an 'A' stamped in the nib collar?

Hello.Mr.hood.

I am honored to be involved in the postings of you, Mr.mitto and other specialists.

 Unfortunately, the image I posted is a borrowed advertising image.

 Therefore, it is not possible to open and check the replacement pen tip package.

 I also saw one example of a replacement accountant nib with nothing stamped on the nib collar.

 I will introduce the link for the members who are browsing.

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Parker-45-New-Old-Stock-Account-Nib-Unit-Easy-Install-Orig-Package-/363579198083?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid 

 

In addition to this, if the accountant nib of the image I posted did not have an "A" stamped on it, "A" was not stamped on the collar of the replacement nib for all periods or periods on a manufacturing and sales line.

 The hypothesis holds.

 The logic that "it is possible to find out the origin of an individual without a stamp on the collar of the pen tip while correcting it" is established.

 I think we should keep an eye on this and observe the information given to us.

 If the information obtained by each is integrated here, one guideline will be constructed.

I do have a new-in-the-package accountant nib. It is marked A on the collar. It is the box style packaging. Box appears to be dated 1963.

Thank you,Mr. bsenn.

 

 What "the three" have in common is the print of "62 Acct." in the period until 14k Gold nib, which was $ 2.35 in 1963, changed the material to stainless steel and raised the price to $ 6.00.

 Using numbers as part identifiers ensures the speculation that a error-free distribution system will be ensured in services and sales networks in countries where English is not the official language.

 

By the way, the handwritten characters written on the Japanese package are "太", "中太", and "細". If you translate it, a different line drawing size will appear.

  It can be seen that this corresponds to the phenomenon that the nib size in Japan is different from the nib size in other countries.

  The two p45 A nibs I own draw finer Japanese"極細" lines rather than Japanese"細".  And writing requires delicate pen pressure.

I have one such nib in the package (#62 Accountant), that I forgot about. 

Yes the A is clearly marked

Lines are thinner than F and it is quite smooth. 

 

PS Added a photo of the nib, had to rub it in white pencil to see it
