"Parker. Made in England"

Contextual information

A fountain pen is a writing instrument that uses a metal nib to apply liquid ink from an internal reservoir to paper, relying on gravity and capillary action to work. Unlike a dip pen, it holds its own ink supply, which can be in the form of a pre-filled cartridge or a manually filled converter. The continuous ink flow from the reservoir to the nib provides a smooth writing experience and can produce a more distinctive line than a standard pen.
