Hi all,
The great person at the Parker Penography website recently posted this:

What do you think? This could have been an "updated" look for the ~10 year old pen in 1999. Looks very much like an old style paragon with the blind cap (to me).
There are many more never-before-seen prototypes listed here: http://parkercollector.com/forsale-prototypes.html

Enjoy!

I've seen them a couple of days ago. Some of them look very smart design. This one is really modern duofold design.

Somehow, I feel this is a modern Duofold trying to morph into a Sonnet -- the pen seems a bit more curved and the cap band is different. However, I must say I prefer the existing editions. Maybe they can try a different material...

I agree with you, I like the current editions more.
