The Challenger model was introduced in 1935 and the DeLuxe in
1937. It has a tapered clip with "PARKER" and the cap
is decorated with three gold bands signifying its elite
status. Trim is gold filled. The imprint on barrel
reads: "PARKER DELUXE CHALLENGER 8., Made in
USA,
Parker Pen Co.Janeville Wis.”.
Ink filling is by the button filler beneath the blind
cap on the barrel. The nib reads: "PARKER, DUOFOLD,
CANADA". Solid gold 14 carat ‘medium’ nib.
Outstanding writer. Condition is excellent.
Length: 5 1/8" - 6 1/8"
Very close to an ‘oversize’ fountain pen – a good
sized pen.
