Parker Sonnet 18K Nib Inscription - Gold Plate?

[Drone]

Thanks for the help guys. It is that seller so I am avoiding buying a fake with your kind help. I had assumed people only bothered faking MBs, Viscontis etc, not Parker's.

 

Yay! The OP @sfbrh is back, and he DID NOT get taken in by the (very likely) Fake Sonnet Seller.

 

@sfbrh, we were worried the initial erroneous replies here led you off a cliff. I carry some guilt in that.

But the information must have enlightened someone.

 

Yes, thank you for reminding me to look for the bright side. In most cases, there is one waiting to be found...

Is this the type of magnet that works on gold nibs?

Oh, but your post about definition of karat, fineness of noble metals, and marking of such things isn't erroneous. That info is correct. I was going to post something along same thing, but way shorter.

 

Whether pen, nib, or jewelry is a forgery is related, but different matter.
