Is this a Parker #12?

[GeoffMartin]

Hi,
 

I just purchased this pen with the guess based on photos that it's a Parker #12.

Now that it's here, I'm still not sure. The nib is certainly not. It's a Heimdal. There are no imprints that I can see on the cap.

 

Any opinions / advice are welcome.

it looks unlikely as section and feed looks somewhat different. That said I am no expert and can be very wrong.

Hi,
Thanks. I agree that the section looks wrong. The pattern on the gold bands is also unlike the 3 others I've found on the Internet - although they are all different from each other.

I'm really on the fence with this one - and waiting to be pushed off on either side.

Seems that it could also be a Paul Wirt.

 

@Greenie

Is it possible that this pen is the same model as the one on your site at the bottom of this page?

Wirt feed and section kind of looks different. threads in this case looks too small. is it possible to get a closeup of the threads in the section ?

@shalitha33: thanks for those photos! You're right... it does look different.

 

It also looks to me like the top 25% of the gold band is missing. Seems weirdly asymmetrical, and doesn't match the band at the bottom of the barrel.

I think the bands look different .. Photo for comparison
