This exceptional French-made example remains preserved in remarkable collector-grade condition and represents one of the more elusive variations within the celebrated Parker 75 series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong Parker 75 enthusiasts, the Silver Plate Perlé finish is encountered far less frequently than its gold-plated counterpart, making examples such as this increasingly difficult to locate, especially in untouched, never-inked condition. Produced during Parker's French manufacturing era, these later Parker 75s are admired for their precision, elegant styling, and exceptional build quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted in silver plate, the cap and barrel display the beautiful Perlé pattern, a sophisticated textured design that interacts wonderfully with light while maintaining a timeless and understated appearance. The silver-toned finish, paired with Parker's iconic styling, creates a fountain pen that feels equally at home in a collector's display case or as a refined daily writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition throughout is exceptional. The cap and barrel remain free from dents, dings, wear, scratches, cracks, or repairs. The slip cap secures firmly to the barrel, and there are no monograms or personal engravings present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cap lip is crisply stamped, “PARKER MADE IN FRANCE,” along with the Parker logo, PP arrow hallmark, and the date code “LE,” identifying production during the first quarter of 1983.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fountain pen retains its original Parker converter, which has been water tested to ensure proper operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitted with a beautiful 14K Fine nib, the nib is correctly stamped, “PARKER 585 FRANCE,” along with the Parker PP arrow assay mark. The feed is marked “F” to denote the Fine point designation, while the section features the uncommon ribbed stainless steel collar, a detail appreciated by knowledgeable Parker collectors. The iridium tipping measures approximately .53mm when checked with digital calipers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportantly, this fountain pen has never been inked or dipped, and it has been intentionally preserved in that condition for the next steward to enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollector-grade Parker 75 examples have become increasingly difficult to locate, particularly those that combine French manufacture, the scarcer Silver Plate Perlé finish, original components, and true never-inked preservation. This is one of those examples that may be matched, but it will be exceedingly difficult to surpass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether acquired as an elegant daily writer or preserved as part of a serious Parker collection, this 1983 Parker 75 Silver Plate Perlé represents one of Parker's most enduring and sophisticated modern classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique Digger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49166300348724,"sku":null,"price":546.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1862\/4123\/files\/1983Parker75SilverplatePerleFountainPen1.jpg?v=1781822390","url":"https:\/\/antiquedigger.com\/en-ca\/products\/scarce-1983-parker-75-silver-plated-perle-14k-fine-nib-fountain-pen-never-inked","provider":"Antique Digger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
