PA3686 Parker Sonnet Moonbeam Pencil.

Date: c1993

Size: Length - 135mm.

A lovely black and white Moonbeam lacquer finished Sonnet pencil.  This pencil is in excellent condition. As far as I can see it is totally undamaged with just the usual micro-scratches that these pens always seem to pick up with any kind of use.  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, but the plating on this pen still looks pristine.  The cap top has a black jewel, that is surrounded by a gold-plated tassie from which depends the Parker arrow pocket clip, also gold plated.  The imprint is on the side of the cap just above the narrow gold plated cap lip band - this one was made in France, and the date code suggests a 1993 manufacture date.  The cap pulls off to reveal an apparently unused pink eraser, below which are several spare 0.5mm leads.  This is a twist-operated pencil, you turn the cap to "click" out the lead.  Turn and hold the cap, and push the lead back in with your thumb.   

I have fully serviced this pencil.  It works perfectly.
