PA3687 Parker Sonnet Lacque Ocean Blue Ballpoint.

Date: c2004

Size: Length - 134mm.

A lovely glossy Ocean Blue lacquer Parker Sonnet ballpoint in excellent condition.  It has the usual micro-scratches on the barrel and cap - you'll not see these without the aid of a loupe though, and unusually, all the trim is in lovely shiny condition with no wear apparent.  Generally, with these French-made pens, the plating was not that well applied to start with and it is very common for it to thin during use, especially on the pocket clip.  The cap top has a black jewel, that is surrounded by a chrome-plated tassie from which depends the Parker arrow pocket clip, also gold plated.  The imprint is on the wide cap lip band - this one was made in France, and the date code suggests a 2004 manufacture date.  The barrel pulls off to allow the refill to be changed.  It accepts standard Parker refills, and you have a very wide choice of compatible refills from many manufacturers.  It is currently fitted with its original Parker Qiumk-Flow refill in blue.  

I have fully serviced this pen.  It works perfectly..
