Help to identify totoiseshell laquer pen?

[ForestBee]

Hi, I hope someone can help me identify this Parker fountain pen.  My husband gave it to me either in the 90’s or very early 2000s .  I’m having trouble narrowing down the exact model - maybe a 75, or Premier?  It is marked “France” on the cap.

It seems to be a Parker 95.

Parker 95 or arrow i think. It is a bit hard to tell on a phone screen though.

Had a closer look. Has a smooth clip so it is a Parker Arrow from around 1986. Very nice lacquer colour.

I had dismissed it being an Arrow as although the lines/nib/clip were right, I couldn’t find anywhere that said the Arrow was made in the thuja lacquer finish, and the sites I found only mentioned the Arrow being made in the US.

 

But I think you are right - the clip doesn’t have ‘feathers’ at the top so is classic ‘arrow’.  

 

So that means it’s even older than I thought, that’s interesting!  I’ve ordered a new converter for it and I’m really looking forward to cleaning it up and trying it out again.

 

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi ForestBee. I hope it's ok to refer you to https://parkerpens.net/parker75.html

Not sure of protocols, I have identified several of my Parker's here.

And I see a similar colour in the '75 line up.

Have you checked here before?

Hello, it's a Parker 95, manufactured between 88/89.
Here is a link with some more descriptions about your beautiful Laque Thuya pen.

If the clip has "feathers" it is a 95. If it is smooth then it is an 86 Aŕrow.

This was really the only difference between the two models.

Most certainly a Parker Arrow (I have a few).

Nice pen, not very common in Thuya.  Most of the Laque finishes were made in France.
