I got lucky last night and finally landed one of my last few “grail” pens, a Parker Royal Challenger from around 1937, in the brown herringbone pattern with the stepped spade clip. I’d always admired these and had wanted one for a long time (a sword clip would’ve been nice) but they were either priced quite high or had problems if affordable. I picked this apparently good specimen up from eBay for $89 plus shipping from Europe, and there’s a bit of rust or tarnish here and there on the metal trim but it seems all right, otherwise, just in need of a new sac.
It’s advertised to be 135 mm capped, so my question is, was there just one size for the Royal Challengers?
