Condition report:
Near mint cosmetic condition with just a couple of very minor handling marks. This is a Flat top Mk II model (replaced in 1979 by the ridge top). Rarer Matt Black body with steel clip and trim. Black logo tab and black section. There are 3 initials engraved on the barrel. Cap is stamped "Parker Made in England". No date code so pre 1980. All steel trim is in perfect condition. Clip is properly aligned and a firm fit. It has a perfect black tab (rare to find in perfect condition as they wear easily over time). Nib is a stainless steel and is in perfect condition. No size marked but it looks more like a medium to me. Dip tested and writes nicely (see photo of writing sample). The pen can use either cartridges or an ink converter filler (neither included). No box.
The 25 Range was only produced from 1975 to 1999.
Please note that the Waterman display stand is not included.
