Discussion of similar pen at FPB

Discussion of the exact pen from the auction at FPB. Page 3 of a monster thread about rebadged and de-rebadged Parkers (pens made for Sears as Diamond Medal, some of which leaked out as Parkers)

http://www.fountainpenboard.com/foru...s/page__st__40

Those who want an education in the issue of Parker-for-Sears pens are invited to start that thread on page 1, but the pen from the auction is shown on Page three which the link should hit.

Sorry terse. At Ohio Pen Show where just scored a massive pen hoard (another one, not the Janesville Hoard discussed here few days ago. More on that later).

BTW. I just bought the auction pen, figuring I want to explore its measurements and to see about possibly fitting it back to original spec, keeping the modded parts nearby as point of interest.
