AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
1979ca PARKER 50 FALCON matte bronze near mint with BOX!
Offering a Parker 50 "Falcon"—a fountain pen produced by Parker between the late 1970s and early 1980s. Clues pointing to this include its tapered shape with an integrated nib, the arrow clip, and the "PARKER" inscription stamped on the cap.
A bit of history
The Falcon was released around 1979.
During that era, Japanese brands—particularly Pilot with its Myu and Murex models—had popularized sleek, elegant, all-metal pens featuring a nib fused into the body. The Falcon was Parker’s answer to that design trend. Despite its highly modern appearance, it remained in production for only a few years, until roughly 1983–84. It was expensive to manufacture and delicate to repair, and the market was shifting toward more traditional models. Precisely for this reason, it is now highly sought after by collectors, especially in less common finishes.
Key features
Its most distinctive feature is the integrated nib. Unlike most fountain pens, which have a separate nib inserted into the grip section, the Falcon’s metal section tapers down to become the tip itself, with a gold insert (14-karat in the classic version) continuing the line of the body. The photo clearly shows how the gold section appears to "emerge" from the bronze-colored grip.
The body is made of metal with a satin/matte finish. This bronze-brown version—featuring a grip section with warmer, coppery tones—is one of the available color variants. Other finishes included matte black, stainless steel, and gold-plated options. It also features a gold ring separating the grip section from the barrel, as well as the classic Parker arrow clip with a gold finish. It uses Parker cartridges or a converter for filling, just like contemporary Parker models.
