In the unlikely event of my buying a quality fountain pen--better than my Lamy Safari, say--that exact pen is my choice, and has been for several years. I just plain like it.monbla256":c72n5vz4 said:[/url

The "Big Red" Parkers were and still are nice pens with a smooth firm nib as comes from the factory. Also the fact that it comes in two sizes makes it well suited to a wide range of folks. They are nice pens just didn't like the factory nib for my writting!! :twisted:Zeno Marx":nr5emsr3 said:Nobody has a Parker Big Red? I had one for a while (my old boss was an fp guy and was shuffling pens around to people all the time). Parker also sold ball points with a very similar body for like $.79. I had a green one and maybe a yellow one. I remember the green for sure. Those Big Reds were expensive back then. He eventually got a pipe I wanted, and the pen went right back to him in trade.
