Hi,

I have a Parker Sonnet flighter for sale. It is in very good condition with only very light scratches on the cap, but the brushed finish means they are hard to see. It has a date code of IIIU, I believe meaning a 2011 manufacture date.

It was bought from Amazon for around £35. It was serviced by Parker last year and they replaced the barrel and section.

The nib is gold plated and stamped M though is essentially a B. The line width is essentially the same as my broad Parker 51. Depending on the ink, it can be a hard starter, though smooth once it gets going. Pairing it with a wet ink gives a lovely line but it chews through the converter capacity quickly! (I'll include one of those with the pen.)

One of Parker's nicer modern pens.

Asking price is £25 including delivery. Payment via bank transfer please. (Update 17/07: now £20!)

Thanks!

(Any questions, feel free to PM me)

Just to say, if you PM me and sort everything out by tomorrow afternoon you'll have it by the weekend. Earliest I can post it otherwise is Tuesday.

Willing to listen to offers!

Update: As I was packaging it up I noticed that there were a couple of blemishes on the chrome part of the cap. They don't affect the function of the pen and aren't very noticeable (I only noticed it now!), but as a result I'm lowering the price to £20, including two Washable Black Quink cartridges and an unused Parker slide converter, along with a couple of sheets of Rhodia paper (folded to fit, sorry) so even if you just had the package alone you could begin writing in seconds!
Still will be posted First Class, will try to do it ASAP but may not be until Monday.

Sorry I've just re-read the description. The nib is too wide.

This is still available to anyone who's interested, previous sale fell through.

For those who are worried about the seller - Cambookpro is an honest bloke.

Still available. I'm away from mid next week, but can hold it until I get back if anyone is interested.

I realise this is a pretty big long shot considering when these came out, but would consider a trade for a TWSBI Eco (preferably with 1.1mm stub). That's all I'd be buying after I sell this anyway!

Bump, will consider any trades. Specifically looking for TWSBI Eco, but will consider anything (and add cash if necessary).

Or, £20 including first class delivery!
