The Engravings

The circular guilloché engraving
of the Vintage moiré pattern
is evocative of the Golden Age of machine engraving.

The fishnet pattern of the Modern
reflects the most advanced
state-of-the-art concepts in contemporary design.

 

The CP5 Vintage

The CP5 Vintage, with its straight form, celebrates the famous Luck Curve Duofold pens of the 1920s.  A distinctive circular engraving machine, dating form 1928, was re-activated from the museum of the distinguished Murelli R S.A.R.L. company in France, exclusively for the guilloché engraving of the CP5 Vintage.

 

The CP5 Modern

The CP5 Modern, with its tapered ends, symbolizes the rebirth of this famous name in the current Parker range.  Using modern computer technology for linear engraving, as well as Murelli's craftsmanship, an exquisite engraved composition has been developed exclusively for the CP5 Modern which reflects the most advanced state-of-the-art concepts in contemporary design.



The CP5 carries the prestigious Parker warranty and excellent after-sales service. It is offered in a variety of 14 different nib grades to satisfy even the most demanding user.

Nib grades include: Needlepoint; Extra Fine; Fine; Medium; Broad; Extra Broad; Extra Extra Broad; Fine, Medium and Broad Oblique (nib angled 15 degrees left); Medium Reverse Oblique (nib angled 15 degrees right); Fine, Medium and Broad Straight Italic (nib cut straight).
