Parker - 75 Octanium - Fountain pen

The Parker 75 Octanium is an unusual and comparatively scarce variation of the celebrated Parker 75, distinguished by its original Octanium alloy nib rather than the 14K gold nib found on most examples. Octanium was Parker’s proprietary eight-component alloy, developed to combine strength, resilience and corrosion resistance, and it was offered on the 75 only for a relatively limited period. The pen retains the model’s characteristic adjustable nib unit, allowing the nib angle to be rotated to suit the writer’s hand, together with the faceted gripping section and cartridge/converter filling system that made the Parker 75 one of the most innovative premium pens of its era. Because Octanium-nibbed 75s were produced in much smaller numbers than standard gold-nib versions, they are particularly interesting to collectors seeking less common variations of this iconic model. The pen is in excellent, pre-owned condition and has been carefully cleaned. Imperfections: light scratches.
