Ref # Detailed description US $
T1BPC

T-1 BP cap in the darker titanium finish. 

$200
T1FTC

T-1 felt-tip cap in the darker titanium finish that fits the all-titanium section, not the 75 felt-tip section with the wide chrome band. 

$250
T1FTB

T-1 fountain or felt-tip pen barrel in the darker titanium finish. 

$250
DPBAt

GP and laque desk pen barrel with taper in the Premier Athenes lined pattern.  Parker made very few of these desk pens and this is an unusual item to find.

If you are mechanically inclined, buy MSlip slip clutch spring and you make your own base for this desk pen.  Just drill a hole into your desired base material and glue the bottom of the slip clutch spring and place into the hole.

Ref # Detailed description US $
STFCoin Spanish Treasure Fleet replica coin

This is the replica cob coin that Parker dealers sold (when available) with the Spanish Treasure Fleet (STF) FP or BP package.  Most collectors who have this limited edition Parker 75 pen do not have this coin as it is scarce.

Sealed in its original plastic bag with the parchment paper as shown above.

$250
BPspr New BP spring that fits Parker 75 and most other BP models.

$1
BPgel New gel BP refill for any Parker BP at half the cost of the Parker branded refill.  Writes with a smooth wet line usually attributed to fountain pens' performance.

Available colors: black, blue, orange, red, green, light gray

$1.50 each, $5 for 4
MPKit

Parker personalization kit containing two sheets of lettering.


These circular letters were used to put onto a dished tassie of various Parker models including the 75.  As they were made in 1971 I cannot guarantee that the glue will hold or for how long, but those that I have tried are still sticky.

$5
MSecFT

Felt-tip section to allow use of current Parker rollerball refills.

Please note that there is a little 'play' when the rollerball refill is used.  In other words, because the rollerball refill has a slightly smaller diameter than the opening of this felt-tip section, it is a little loose.

$25
BPShim

BP shim set to be used with BP refills with the felt-tip section.

$10
MFTBP

Combination set of felt-tip section with the BP shim set.

    

This combination allows you to convert your Parker 75 or Premier fountain pen to use Parker style BP (including the gel type) refills.

$30
STBP2

Here is the Spanish Treasure Fleet 75 BP box alone.  Missing are the inside green tray and certificate, as well as the outer white cardboard sleeve.

 

$200
TT1NT

For the discriminating collector of the titanium Parker T-1, here is a nib adjustment tool to vary the line width.  I think the tool material is also titanium.  Small as it is, this item is very seldom seen, and this is the first one that I have come across.

$75
MTube

Clear PVC pen tubes with twist expandability.  Inner diameter is 0.51 inch and length varies from 4.75 to 7.875 inches.  Note that the bottom end is hexagonal to prevent the tube from rolling.

Shown above with a Parker Premier Athenes FP as an example (obviously excluded from this item), this tube will fit all writing modes of most Parker models: Parker 75s, Premiers, T-1, etc.   

$1 each, 12 for $10
MSecF

French rounded section FP shell.  If your French 75 FP is starting to leak, then chances are you need to pull the nib and replace the section shell.

NOTE: This shell fits the new nib assembly with the collector plates attached.  It cannot fit the older nib assemblies with the thin tube.

$30

 

MTassie

This goldplated tassie for 75 FP is the indented dish version that matches the clip below.  If your tassie appears rough in appearance, replace it and get your FP back to its original condition.  

       

$15
MClip

FP or BP goldplated clip.  This is the later version with the larger arrowhead.

$15
MSlip
Slip clutch spring for 75 FP, FT, and RB.  If your pen's cap does not close with its usual distinctive click or the cap feels loose when closed, then it may need a new spring. 

Brand new part, not pulled from broken pens. 

NOTE: Parker Customer Service will tell you they no longer have this spring.  But if you send this part and along with your 75 pen, they will make the adjustment for you.  I suggest you verify this with Parker first to see if they will still perform this service for you.  Alternatively I can perform the cap repair.

$10
MFPIC

Inner cap for 75 FP, FT, and RB.  If your pen cap does not close onto the barrel and leaves a small gap, it may need a simple adjustment that requires a new inner cap.

$15
MCSet

FP cap repair set consisting of the following parts shown above:
bullet

Goldplated tassie (MTassie)

bullet

Goldplated clip (MClip)   

bullet

Slip clutch spring (MSlip)

bullet

Inner cap (MFPIC)

Conveniently packaged and priced at a 27% discount from the sum of the individual prices ($55).

$40
MFPBT
Barrel thread for 75 FP, FT, and RB; size is 3/8 inch and 24 pitch.  If your barrel threads are stripped, here is the replacement part your repairperson will need.  Verify that your repairperson can perform this work.

 

$15
MBP1N
Ballpoint pen actuation ratchet mechanism for the later versions of the 75 cap-actuated BP, not flat-tassie BP.  If your BP no longer actuates successfully, then this is likely what you need to replace.  New condition, not pulled from broken BPs.

This part was also used with later cap-actuated mechanical pencils (not the twist actuation).

$20
MNibT

New nib adjustment tool.  Parker at one time gave these out with each fountain pen.  Their purpose is to assist in rotating the nib, adjusting the angle to suit the writing style of the user.  I have to admit that this item is rather gimmicky.  Your fingers can do an adequate job of turning the nib, using a tissue paper to prevent getting them inked.

Nonetheless, these are curiosities that are somewhat difficult to find, and any Parker 75 collector should have at least one in their collection.

$5
MCvt1U

Used slim aerometric converter guaranteed to be in good operating condition.

If you are trying to get your pen to the original spec, this may be the converter for you.

$10
MCvt3N

New twist piston converter.

  Preferred converter of air travelers because this won't leak with varying air pressure.

$10
MCvt4N
New slide piston converter.

While it doesn't store as much ink as MCvt3N above, this converter will fit slim Parker FP models like the Classic or 180.

Also, this is another converter that can be used by air travelers because this won't leak with varying air pressure.  

 

$7
MMP2N

New 0.5 mechanical pencil refill in the newer style made by the Japanese manufacturer Ohira.

Please note that converting a BP into a pencil using this mechanism is most likely a one-way conversion.  This is because there is a little split O-ring which is used to prevent the refill from backing up into the barrel.  To remove this refill mechanism, one must break this split O-ring which is somewhat difficult to do.

$10

 

MMP3N

New 1.1mm mechanical pencil cartridge that is intended to convert any Parker BP into a pencil.  This cartridge is a direct replacement for a BP refill, and as such is readily replaceable unlike MMP2N above.

People used to throw away these cartridges thinking that they could be easily replaced.  They thought it was completely sealed.  Little did they know that it was refillable but only from the open end where the lead comes out.  Nowadays these are tough to find.

$20
