    Default Need help identifying Parker (Urban??)

    Catching up on my inventory after years of neglect I came across this Parker, which I am at a loss to identify. I think it may be an Urban but it does not match up exactly with photos I have found.
    Any help in identifying would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.unnamed-2.jpgunnamed-3.jpgunnamed.jpg

    Seems to be an older urban before they made the design more traditional. Imo this design was much better because how how elegant it looks, but I can see why people didn’t like it.

    It is a nice looking pen.

    I saw that pen and remember looking at the section and wondering why there seemed to be such a gap between the chrome at the end of the section where the nib is.

    It almost looks like a recess for an o-ring in the cap to seal the nib off.
    Vintage. Cursive italic. Iron gall.

    As penmainiac has mentioned it is the earlier version of an Urban Premium FP

    Both the Urban and IM nibs were revised into one style.

    The early versions was made in many different colours and also had a 5th Generation nib option.
