The Story
Parker's release of the brushed steel harlequin was an attempt to revive sales by giving the Parker 45 an exciting new look. The short production run of these pens, combined with their brushed steel finish have made these a collector's favourite and a robust and hard wearing everyday writer.
Production of The Parker 45 Harlequin began in 1979 and into the early 80's, with most models dating between 1980 and 1982. All Harlequins were made in the UK at the UK Newhaven factory in 1980 apart from a few very early examples.
The pen is in immaculate condition, and comes with its original aerometric ink converter, serviced and ready to write
