I have no idea on the AM 87,  From all I see they look identical, just trying to find any difference other than marking. I have an AM87 pen and am trying to match a ballpoint to it.  From what I see it seems as either will match  ok.

Who bought and used the Black Giant Parkers? Were they meant for lawyers, doctors, or baseball players? (Note: Hillerich and Bradsby told Ted Williams that they made a 54 ounce bat for Babe Ruth. Was this the fountain pen equivalent?)

 

I don't know if this will answer your question, but here's a 1920 advertisement for the BG.
