![]() ![]() Many Parker pens wereare made in USA of course, and are stamped Made in USA. Parker have used a few different badges over the years, one was like a P, and one was like an oval with an arrow straight through the centre, this is a good way of knowing the date the pens were made.įrom around 1980 many Jotters were made in UK stamped Made in UK, before 1980 they used Made in England and the threads inside the pen were brass. Im not sure I made this clear also but the red one doesnt actually have a place of manufacturing on it (the black one says made in France but has no date, the red one has a date however no place of production). I find it hard to believe a counterfeiter would take such time and produce such an inexpensive pen for a measly profit however its also one of the most iconic pens in the world. I dont want to bother you again but would you happen to know why both pens have different designsengravings Does this mean they were made in a different place Is it that my black one is fake I did see a few comments on Amazon about the black one claiming it was fake but a far majority said it was real. Your refill should have the word QUINK flow, its the standard new ink supplied in all the ballpoints made by Parker. The price you paid is well under the RRP, but I bought a claretred Jotter just like yours for 4.50 in a well known stationers shop in UK, totally genuine pen in a half price sale, it doesnt happen very often. The colour of the barrel doesnt have any connection to the ink colour, new pens can have black or blue ink refills, its possible to get other colours and gel inks as well. The quality of the engraving or stamping does vary a great deal, from sharp to almost unreadable. The spring can come out, there is nothing in the pen to keep it fixed inside. Its in the range of datecodes that Parker use, one letter for each year, from the range QUALITYPEN. The spring can come out of the pen body which on my other Jotter doesnt happen.Īlso the engravings are pretty shabby and not as detailed as my red one.īoth pens feature the refill twist action where the refill, when clicked, will rotate. The engraving on the back (not the Parker name under the arrow clip) is what appears to be roman numerals.īoth engravings on the pen are quite detailed and slightly deeper than another black Parker Jotter I have says Made in France. ![]()
