Parker Sonnet in Black Lacque, 18k M, Made in France

[BayesianPrior]

Parker Sonnet in Black Lacque. Nib is an 18k gold M (no skips, no hard starts) with a nice amount of springiness. Line width estimated at 0.6mm spreading easily to 0.8mm - you could try for more, but I won't.

Made in France, date code IIP (second quarter of 1997). Great little pen, but a smidge too short for me and the nib is a smidge too broad. The pen was acquired NOS in 2018 from a small stationer in Guernsey. The pen shows minor signs of everyday use (microscratches). More significant is some plating loss on the section trim ring - see photos where I have tried to capture it. No corrosion is evident beyond the plating loss.

Asking $110 inclusive of international shipping costs. Open to offers or trades for JoWo #6 or Bock 250 nibs ground to XXF, needlepoint, or fine cursive italic.

Pen ships from Canada with Parker convertor and four washable blue cartridges.
