MS924 Mr Pen Italix Parsons Essential, boxed (Medium Stub)

Date: c2000s

Size: Length - 141mm capped; 162mm posted.

This is a beautiful lacquered pen with a lovely ornate cap band.  It is in excellent condition, with the only damage being some minor 0plating wear to the forward part of the nib.  This is a good-sized pen; not too light and not too heavy.  It has the classic cigar shape with its rounded ends.  The cap has a gold plated pocket clip with a flat terminal and a rather ornate and wide band near the lip.  This is decorated with a pattern that reminds me of the Celtic knot, and has a black infill.  The cap unscrews to reveal the black gripping section and two-tone stainless steel Italix nib.  This is marked as a medium, and is actually a medium stub.  The section unscrews to allow the fitting of a standard International-style ink converter (the pen has a Schmidt K5 converter already fitted) or a standard International-sized ink cartridge.  Both cap and barrel are decorated with a beautiful liquid gloss black lacquer.  The box is also in lovely condition.

I have fully serviced this pen.  It writes very well, producing a very nice, wet and consistent line.  The stub nib provides for some very attractive line width variation from a medium to a broad.
