Big Red pens.... the MSP fountain pen version!

[Ron Z]

Parker never sold the Big Red pens as anything but roller ball/ballpoint pens.  I have one that came out of the model shop with a Parker 75 nib installed, and it writes nicely.  I'm hanging onto it though it doesn't seem quite right with that nib.  The pen needs an open nib.  This summer I acquired a batch of the RB pens, and modified them to take a Bock 250 housing and nib and a Schmidt converter, and they've gone quite quickly.  I've just finished a few more of the orange pens with gold trim and gold plated nibs and have them our pen sales page.  GREAT pens, very comfortable to hold and write with, and the 250 nib (used in the larger Kaweco pens) writes smoothly. My two have been in use since August.  BUT, this is likely to be the last batch, at least for a good while.   Purchase before Dec. 17th to have the pen to you by Christmas (Priority mail, CONUS only)

 

You'll find them along with other offerings on the main pen sales page at Main Street Pens.

A very handsome pen, traditional yet  modern.
