Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Vintage Circa 1983 Parker Premier Fountain Pen in the Chinese Lacquer with Speckles Model with 18K Gold Medium Nib. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, ultrasonically cleaned, put back together, and now is in wonderful writing condition.

Note: This Premier series was introduced to the European market on September 12, 1983 at the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo.  Made in the Parker Meru factory, this was to be the luxury version to the 75.  It was slightly longer and with a larger diameter, the Premier was designed to be a higher-end model.  It has an elegant look to it with its black, flat jeweled end tassies made out of onyx, and faceted rings that make it sparkle in the light. This Parker 75 Premier was manufactured from circa 1983 to 1991.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, and section. Hand polished the 22K Gold Electroplate Cap Clip, Cap Banding, and Trim. I have cleaned the 18K Nib, Feed/Stem, and Section. This Parker 75 Premier has no enameling loss and is in incredibly great condition. This Parker 75 Premier is known as the Chinese Lacquer with Speckles model and measures 5 3/8" capped and 6 1/8" posted.

The fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition with no dings, dents, or repairs with the slip cap always securing tightly to the barrel. The cap sports a faceted cap band and has two black onyx jewels at the ends. The Cap Lip is stamped with, "PARKER FRANCE". There are no monograms or personalizations on either the cap or barrel. There is the original Parker hang tag included.

This Parker Premier has an ink converter filling unit and I have tested it with water and fills as it should. It is a Parker factory ink converter.

Here is where the pen really excels. The NIB is fitted with an 18K M (medium) and marked with, "PARKER 750 FRANCE with the PP Arrow Hallmark". When measuring the actual tip of the 18K NIB it measures at .65mm when measuring with digital calipers. The back of the feed shows an "M" for Medium. When writing a sample, this NIB writes with a medium line/stroke. The medium stroke measures between .62mm to .86mm when measured with digital calipers. The nib is a very smooth writer. The sample was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Montblanc Blue Ink.

This Parker Premier Chinese Lacquer Model Fountain Pen is an extremely gorgeous fountain pen that is also a great writer. I would consider this Parker Primer to grade in Mint Condition and is deserving of a great collection. It is ready to write or just add to your writing arsenal collection.
