Two modern parkers.
I got the red centennial one a few days ago, and the greenwich edition the day after, i found both in some local adds.
The last pic shows them next to "the real Thing" a duofold senior from the twenties (i think).
I specially like the greenwich edition, the chasing gives a good grip, and also looks very good (in my eyes) but they are both well made, well balanced and nice to write with.
The red has a "Q" date code, and the black one has "IIIN" date code.

^------ The Greenwich version is absolutely stunning!
How much does that cost (ballpark figure)?
Thanks, itīs a LE model, so you canīt buy them new anymore.
I think they were made in 1999 only (not 100% sure though).
Somewhere between Edith Prickley and Prince is my newest purchase, a leopard-print purple Pilot Metropolitan.

My latest was a Platinum Balance for my wife and a Kaweco Liliput (brass wave) for me. I'm loving it!

Pelikan 400 in black stripe! Just one more to go (the green stripe model) to complete my college "user collection", which will put an end to pen-buying until I'm a senior.
At the LA Pen Show today: early faceted Vanishing Point with custom italic nib from Carmen Rivera, and a lovely Filcao from Giovanni Abrate. Pics when I get home at the top of the week. I'm worried I'll find more stuff tomorrow. Pray for me.
