Identifying Parker

[Kas_Can_Fly]

Hi all this is my first post here, although I think I will have many, many more! I was looking into buying a nice fountain pen, something better than the entry level fountains I have used and more practical for frequent use than the copperplate dip set I bought recently (which was when I first came across the fountain pen network). Anyway, talking to my Nan, she just drops in that my uncle (who passed away a few years ago) had quite the collection. He lived abroad, so she said she would bring me some back to sort through and sell and I would be able to keep one of my choice as long as it wasn't too valuable.

 

I have a lot that I want to identify some I have the full information, others a rough idea but no specific information, some I have nothing. Now this one is bothering me because I've seen it before and I'm sure I know what it is, but for whatever reason the name is eluding me. So despite being not the most amazing pen in the collection, it's bothering me!

 

So if anyone can identify this fountain pen and ballpoint pen set (I don't know if there is supposed to be a mechanical pencil as well, but we don't have it), I would be grateful.

It's a Parker 88, later renamed Rialto.

Thanks and suddenly it all comes rushing back! I knew I'd seen it somewhere. Like I say the collection ranges from a Bulgarian mechanical pencil to a Limited Edition Caran d'Ache and that's just what I've seen. Those with serial numbers are a little easier to find out but I am not experienced in this field.

 

Out of all of the pens, my favorite so far is a Pearl Duofold that hasn't even been used. The rule is I won't try it out if it's not been used, but it's sooo tempting ;P
