Parker 50 Falcon TX matte black

[oboy]

Hi everyone,

in the 1980's I found above mentioned fountain pen and left it for years in the desk drawer. Now I want to use it, but no ink cartridge I have from Parker really fits. The top side (with the small glas ball) is always too big and the ink leaks. Which cartidges can I use for this pen?

Thanks in advance
Barb

it should use standard Parker cartridges... hopefully the connection to the feed is not damaged, maybe try a Parker converter?

Thanx for the quick answer. How do I know if the feed it damaged? I also have a Parker converter, but its hole is also too large. I guess the feed is damaged.

OK, I checked the feed as good as I could and it seems to me that the feed ist indeed damaged. Back it goes into the drawer...

It sounds like the feed inside the section is damaged and whatever should be there to hold the cartridge or converter is no longer there. That's sad, but you could always buy a replacement section. The black Parker Falcon TX is too nice a pen to spend all of it's life in a drawer unloved and not writing.
