One of my new finds. This Parker Falcon is not my first pen of this kind but it certainly is the first in this display case. This display case comes with a cartridge, a converter and the guarantee all tucked up into the back of this case. They are found behind the two plastic upright legs which when pulled out form the triangle which holds the case upright. What an imaginative idea. I have not seen one before and I have been collecting a long time. Does this case come with other pens? What fun! Parker came out with many unusual case didn't they.

Yes they are but I have never written with one. This one looks like it hasn't been used. So, to write with it or not that is the question. Generally I like to write with my pens.

Here's a shot of some pens of related style. Not totally content with the pic; i put too much shimmer on it. Still:  pair of Parker 50s (Falcons),  Pilot Murex, and Parker T1 (Titanium)

Thanks for the pictures. I probably will never see some of those in this location.

Hello Christof:

I like the mauve one. Did people like this pen? Was it a good seller in the day?  If you drop the pen I suppose it's all over. Not a fixer upper!

Hi June
The pen's surface is Brown epoxy lacquer.
The fact that these are not extremely hard to find makes me think that they sold quite well.
Fixing a bent nib might be a quite hard task. Finding A replacement part would be easier, I think.
