Here's another beautiful piece from Haeger pottery & parker.
11 1/2" x 5 1/8" single pen. based on the 21 super. 14K fine/medium aerometric filler. The lip and corners have the standard small chips here & there but nothing truly horrible nor are there any cracks. When you hold it up with 2 fingers and flick it with your fingernail, it's the clear ring of good ceramic & not the dull thunk of a cracked piece. (got that one from an ebay question on the other haeger set I have up now) The only issues are the minor chips on the lip of the ceramic. With the patch kits they sell today, I honestly don't see it as a serious issue at all.
Buttery smooth, generous medium/thin broad Octanium nib. Pretty moist 6.5/10. Incredible writer. This is just a damn fine piece of Parkerdom with a great writing dead on reliable pen that'll never let you down.
How $85 shipped in the US & $105 International. I assure you, you will not regret picking this one up.
The pics below belong to the original seller and are the same ones I saw when I bought the set. I used them because they are light years better than I can take with my current camera set up.
