PA3683 Parker 45 Harlequin 80, Circlet Pattern (Medium)

Date: c1981

Size: Capped - 136mm; posted - 152mm.

This beautiful and very scarce Parker 45 Harlequin is in excellent condition.  I can find no scratches and no dings or any other damage in the highly decorated surface; the chrime plated trim is also in excellent shiny and undamaged condition. It has a chromed Parker arrow pocket clip and chromed clutch ring.  Around the cap lip is a crisp and clear imprint including the date code for 1981.  The section is in glossy, unmarked black plastic.  The octanium nib is in a medium point and is also completely undamaged with a generous blob of iridium at the tip.  These Harlequin pens were made in the early 1980s and are now very much sought-after.  The barrel unscrews to allow filling of the pen.  It may be used with either a standard Parker ink cartridge or filled from a bottle with the original squeeze-type Parker ink converter. 

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib is very smooth in action and writes with a lovely wet and medium width line.
