Manufactured in Janesville, Wisconsin, during the earliest years of Parker 75 production and subsequently exported across the Atlantic, this exceptional Parker 75 Ciselé was assayed and hallmarked in London in 1969, a feature rarely encountered and highly appreciated by collectors of early Parker writing instruments. Both cap and barrel retain their original London sterling silver hallmarks, providing a precise historical anchor and documenting the pen's journey from the United States to one of the world's most respected assay offices. This combination of early American production and British hallmarks creates a particularly desirable variant within the Parker 75 family. The pen preserves several distinctive first-generation features sought after by enthusiasts, including the smooth gold-filled flat tassies, the long gripping section and the original nib-indexing ring still bearing the early "0" reference mark. Together, these characteristics firmly place the pen among the earliest and most collectible Parker 75 configurations. What is perhaps most remarkable is the level of preservation achieved over more than five decades. The sterling silver Ciselé pattern remains crisp and well-defined, the London hallmarks are sharp and fully legible, and the gold-filled trim displays outstanding retention and brilliance. The tassies, often the first areas to show wear or impact damage, remain exceptionally preserved, while the overall presentation is free from dents, distortions or significant signs of age-related deterioration. The original Parker converter is present and fully functional, completing a writing instrument that has clearly been cherished throughout its lifetime. An unusually well-preserved early Parker 75 Ciselé, combining first-generation features, documented London hallmarks and outstanding originality — a rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant example from the formative years of one of Parker's most celebrated fountain pens. Please note that the original Parker presentation box is not included. The pen will nevertheless be carefully packaged and shipped in a protective presentation box as a courtesy, ensuring safe transit and proper protection during delivery.
