Guys I Need Your Eyes On This Sonnet

June 23, 2015

I Recently did a clean up at my rental house and found several fountain pens the tenants left behind (along with all sorts of rubbish). One of them is a Parker Sonnet. I've never owned one before and I know that there are a lot of fake ones around. So I took it apart, gave it a thorough wash, air dried it overnight. I tested it with Waterman Mysterious Blue and Private Reserve Daphne Blue, both worked great in the pen. I have followed instructions from various post trying to figure out whether it is fake or authentic but still can't come up with a conclusion. The nib has passed the magnetic test, but I've read from those posts on the forum that some fake/stainless steel ones can pass the test too. Here is some images I took. The quality is not ideal cos I don't have my DSLR at my office. Can I please get some advice from you? Thanks in advance.
