Today I present for review the Parker 95. This pen is no longer made, but can be easily found on popular auctions sites, which is where I purchased mine. These pens were readily available from the late 1980 to the mid 1990âs. As you can see from the picture above, the pen came in a clam shell case with Parkerâs lifetime guarantee.
1. Appearance & Design (7) â This pen is designed in a functional and straight forward way. It does not come off as a fancy pen, but it does have a quality feel and heft to it. The nib on this pen is âsemiâ hooded in nature. These pens came in a number of finishes. This pen is the Black Laque version.
2. Construction & Quality (8) â This pen is well constructed and the finish is well done. I have had this pen for several years and have used it regularly during that time. The Black Laque finish has held up well and shows little signs of use.
3. Weight & Dimensions (9) â This pen weights right at 20 grams with the converter in. It is about 5 ¼ inches capped and 5 ¾ inches posted. At this size and weight the pen is very comfortable in hand posted. The pen is well balanced posted as well. For me the pen is a bit on the small side for use when not posted. This is a thin pen (much smaller than a Sheaffer TM model) This may be a drawback for some.
next to a Pilot Vanishing point for size reference.
