AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent and highly coveted vintage Parker 75 Ciselé writing set, consisting of a fountain pen and a matching ballpoint. Introduced in the 1960s, the Parker 75 quickly became a status symbol and one of the most acclaimed writing instruments for its design and ergonomics.

Both pieces are crafted in solid sterling silver (92.5% purity), bearing the world-renowned Ciselé finish: a meticulous grid pattern whose grooves are darkened to enhance the relief and offer an unmistakable tactile texture. The details, including the iconic arrow-shaped clip and the flat ends (tassies), are elegantly gold-plated.

The fountain pen features Parker’s revolutionary contoured ergonomic nib, which allows a perfect grip. This nib houses a superb solid gold 14k nib made in the United States, tuned to a versatile F (Fine) point. This system also allows slight rotation of the nib to adjust it to the user’s exact writing angle. With ideal proportions of 12.8 cm in length, it is an exceptionally nimble pen.

The set comes in its original vintage Parker case, with cupped interior.

Technical details of the piece:

Item type: Sterling silver writing set.
Model: Parker 75 Ciselé.
Nib: 14k solid gold (Fine point).
Condition and conservation: As these are writing instruments with several decades of history, it’s important to remember that their charm lies in the traces of time. We cannot demand the clinical perfection of newly manufactured pieces, but rather admire the patina and character that only years confer. Both pieces are in excellent aesthetic and functional condition. The sterling silver shows no deep dents or deformities, preserving a lovely vintage patina (it can be polished if the new owner prefers total shine, though collectors usually prefer to keep it as is). The 14k nib is in perfect condition.

Case/Accessories: Complete set with original vintage Parker case.

Please review the images carefully to admire the Ciselé engraving work, the silver’s condition, and the preservation of the gold nib.
