    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).

    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.
