{"product_id":"parker-75-fountain-pen-matte-black-gt","title":"Parker 75 Fountain Pen - Matte Black GT","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Parker 75 Fountain Pen - Matte Black GT presents one of Parker's most influential premium designs in a restrained French-made finish. The softly textured black surface is framed by polished gold-plated appointments, allowing the precision of the 75's proportions, arrow clip, and distinctive gripping section to take precedence over ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Important Parker Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduced in 1963, the Parker 75 was created by Kenneth Parker and Don Doman as a premium writing instrument that combined modern engineering with formal materials. The original sterling silver Cisele established the collection's reputation, but the model eventually developed into an exceptionally broad family of metal, lacquer, and precious-metal finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrench production at Meru expanded the decorative range during the late 1970s and 1980s. Matte Black entered the French line as a quieter alternative to the reflective lacquer and patterned metal versions, giving the 75 a distinctly understated character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWriting Experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis example is fitted with an 18k gold Medium nib. Parker 75 nibs are generally firm and controlled, providing a precise line with enough width to show ink character. The shaped gripping section was designed to help orient the nib consistently in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cartridge-converter filling system accepts Parker cartridges or bottled ink through a compatible converter. This practical mechanism helped the 75 remain convenient for regular use throughout its long production life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCollector Perspective\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Parker 75 remained in production until 1994 and became one of the company's most successful premium fountain pens. Matte Black GT is especially appealing because its subdued surface reveals the geometry of the design and makes well-preserved examples increasingly difficult to find without visible handling wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Fountain Pen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollection: Parker 75\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Matte Black GT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Matte black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrim: Gold-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNib Material: 18k gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNib Size: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilling System: Cartridge Converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary Color: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Parker","offers":[{"title":"Medium","offer_id":54452861632787,"sku":"PK-SON-MBGT-FP","price":199.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2083\/6627\/files\/Parker-75-Fountain-Pen-Matte-Black-GT-uncapped-leaning.jpg?v=1784824018","url":"https:\/\/www.truphaeinc.com\/products\/parker-75-fountain-pen-matte-black-gt","provider":"Truphae","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
