Some of the Parker 25's I have picked up over the last couple of months ... I have one P25 on which the nib is outstanding and which is used as my "everyday" pen over much more expensive pens.

Re: Some of my Parker 25's
Until you start collecting them, you don't realise all the variations there are.
Re: Some of my Parker 25's
I have one too... absolutely love it.
Re: Some of my Parker 25's
I have one, with a Sonnet 18k nib, and it is a very sensational writer.
Re: Some of my Parker 25's
Thanks, this is the first time I've seen or heard of a Parker 25. Such a unique looking shape.

Re: Some of my Parker 25's
The shape is quirky, reminds me of the Franklin-Christoph No.2.
Re: Some of my Parker 25's
It reminds me of a recent pen I purchased from SpeerBob off EBay called a Pilot TOW.

Re: Some of my Parker 25's
The Parker 25 is one of the easier ones to collect as there aren't too many variations compared to say the Parker 75 ...Originally Posted by whych
Re: Some of my Parker 25's
A lovely collection. I really like the look of the Parker 25.
Beware of oblique conclusions.
Re: Some of my Parker 25's
How is that pen, by the way? I'm curious about it.
Thanks!

Re: Some of my Parker 25's
I picked up a 25 yesterday at a flea market, it didn't have a converter, does the modern Parker converter fit this pen? I can't wait to try mine out, no idea what the nib size is but the pen seems to be in excellent shape.
Re: Some of my Parker 25's
They do fit the same convertors.
Clearly they had a higher and more comprehensive conception of the duties of society toward it's members than had the lawgivers of Europe of the time, and they imposed obligations upon it that were shirked elsewhere... But it is the provisions for public education which, from the very first, throw into the clearest relief the originality of American civilization.

Re: Some of my Parker 25's
The pen is true to its name as a F/M and writes Japanese fine maybe a touch wet hence medium. It has a neat nib but the steel nib is not as flexy as perhaps most would attribute pilot Nakaya designs to offer today. This pen is perfect for a University student needing to make notes in the margin of a textbook. (I suspect more and more textbook obsolence though with IPad ePub and other electronic distributions). I would purchase fine or extra fine rollerballs back in the 80s for tiny summary notes which became later my summary notes in a notebook.How is that pen, by the way? I'm curious about it.
Thanks!
The cap fits well. The converter works well. I found the first month a bit too scratchy. I complained to Pilot who disavowed all knowledge in Canada of ever making the pen altogether. Clearly it was a product made by Pilot. Sigh. I received a reply from an ill informed and likely lazy employee who had no intention of checking if they had a different nib for the model in inventory to sell me.
It is now cleaned and put away. I don't think I will use it much. Maybe I will add it to my trading pen portfolio. I should actually sort through my pens and decide on some to sell and consolidate my collection. You got me thinking now which ones to sell.
