The Parker 25 was introduced in 1975 and continued into the early 1990s. This pen carries a clear date code for the second quarter of 1993 and is marked 'Made in U.K'., one of the last of the 25s.
The pen is in excellent condition, it has seen very little, if any use. A sign is the pristine state Parker 'Halo' logo on the clip which wears rapidly. The original Parker display box is in clean condition with a good clasp.
I have inked the pen to test it. Sometimes even new old stock pens don't write well but this one is a gem. It produces a very smooth and consistent medium line, a very 'easy' writer. The pen is fitted with an ink converter and is supplied with a new ink cartridge so it is ready to write in either configuration.
With its somewhat quirky design, indestructible construction and the practicality of a cartridge/converter system this set would make a great vintage every day pen.
