A Unique Parker Arrow

Sometimes you are just lucky to find a pen which is unique or very rare. It happened to me to stumble over a Parker Arrow where I couldn't find any additional information on the internet.

Asking around, I was told that especially Parker had one-to-several piece test-runs and this might be one of them.

So, I proudly present a rare or even unique Parker Arrow fountain pen:




On the trimband is written PARKER, the Parker France icon MADE in France AC and another Parker icon.

According to the Parkerpens.net's Parker pen code pages, AC means that this pen was produced in the 2nd quarter of 1982.

Parker seems to have played around with such kind of designs, see the torsade finish of a Parker 180 which is from 1981.

From the 4th quarter of 1981 is my second Parker Arrow, 12K gold filled (cap&barrel), Made in USA.

weights will follow later


The nib writes really smooth. The lines are about 0.5 mm (M). A very nice pen for those who prefer such slim pens. Unfortunately, my pen size is more Montblanc 149 or Sailor KoP.

Waldmann Pen's catalogs 2008-2025

The company Waldmann Pens exists since more than 100 years. Due to destruction of the Waldmann factory including the archives during WWII, all information before this event is lost. After the death of the founder in 1964, the owner changed several times until in 2007, the recent owner, Stefan Schnirch, took over. And only since his start, catalogs of the produced models exist. You can see and download the catalogs from 2008 until 2025 from my Goggle Drive. I got permission from Mr. Schnirch to offer them here. GoogleDrive

Silver pens

  Just be cautious to know the difference between the different silver types if you buy a silver pen - I use some lines from Wikipedia - do not claim I could say it better.   Real silver Fine silver  is 99.9% pure silver. Argentium silver  (patented in 1998) is a brand of modern tarnish-resistant silver alloys, containing either 93.5%, 94% or 96% silver. Argentium alloys replace some of the copper in the traditional sterling silver (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper) with the metalloid germanium. Argentium 935, Argentium 940 and Argentium 960 alloys exceed the standard required for hallmarking as sterling silver, and Argentium 960 silver meets the standard for hallmarking as Britannia silver (95.84% silver). Silvadium, Sterlium  is 93% silver, and other metals Sterling silver  is an alloy composed by weight of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925.   and then there i...

"Gemini pens"

 It's play time. I asked Gemini to create some fountain pens. Unfortunately, Gemini still has some problems in creating a fountain pen. I am still working on how to make reliably such a pen with Gemini. The problem could be with my prompts or it could be on the Gemini side. Nevertheless - enjoy!
