The Parker 75 Ciselé is one of Parker's most recognisable vintage fountain pens, combining sterling silver construction with its distinctive engraved crosshatch pattern and elegant gold-plated trim.

Introduced in the 1960s, the Parker 75 was conceived as a premium writing instrument and became one of the company's most successful high-end models. The sterling silver Ciselé was the original and ultimately most iconic finish of the series.

This USA-made example features a sterling silver cap and barrel, engraved “STERLING CAP & BARREL”, confirming the precious-metal construction. The finely engraved grid pattern is complemented by Parker's classic gold-plated arrow clip and gold-coloured end details.

The pen is fitted with a 14K Gold Medium nib, with the Medium grade indicated by the M marking. The Parker 75 also features an adjustable nib unit that can be rotated within the section to accommodate the writer's preferred angle.

It uses Parker's cartridge/converter filling system.

This example is in very good vintage condition.

The pen has been carefully inspected, cleaned and tested. The Ciselé grid pattern remains crisp and well defined across the cap and barrel, while the gold-plated trim presents well.

There are light surface marks and signs of previous use consistent with its age. As with all sterling silver pens, the surface may naturally develop patina over time.

The STERLING CAP & BARREL engraving remains present and legible.

Any significant imperfections are shown in the photographs.

Pen and squeeze converter

Pentsugi Notes

Every vintage pen sold by Pentsugi is individually inspected and tested before listing. Where restoration has been necessary, the aim is to preserve as much of the pen's original character as possible while returning it to reliable writing condition.

The Parker 75 Ciselé has become a classic of vintage Parker design, particularly in its original sterling silver form. Its combination of precious metal construction, distinctive grid engraving and adjustable nib system makes it both an interesting collector's piece and a practical everyday writer.

As with all vintage writing instruments, minor signs of age and previous use should be expected. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
