Hello, Witajcie
I was trying to help my friend to identify the model of "61" he has got and his suggestion was it's Custom Insignia. Not having catalogues for 60-ties and 70-ties I only noticed there was "51" Insignia (cap + barrel 1/10 12kt gold filled) and there was Custom (just the cap gold filled). In spare parts catalogues for 1960, 62 and '80 I couldn't find Custom Insignia but I noticed that caps for these models separately have the same "part number" and if they are described, the description is the same.
I also found International versions with 14 carat gold filling. There were also a "new style" Custom and Insignia and a "mechanical" in front of some Custom model parts (mechanical means, it was filled in some other way the capillary ... although it sounds like pencil parts?).
please
And, at the same time all over the internet people use Custom Insignia describing all sorts of pens. Can you help me out, wrapping my had around this? I read everything about models 61 and 65 (there also seems to be Custom Insignia) at parkerpen.net but after finding this line:
Insignia (aka Jet Flighter, aka Signet) (1958—1980's)
I'm no longer sure what to trust ... Are the vertical lines in groups of 5 the key?
Thanks in advance,
Maciek
