Parker T-1: Another not-so-usual pen

cuteline

This pen, made of titanium, was only produced for 1 year, and was considered a commercial failure of Parker. It was said that the pen was so expensive to produce that Parker lost money for each pen they sold!
But it has a very unique modern design, honoring Americans landing on the moon.

I bought it in Boston Pen show, for $500. It can go from $400 to $700 that I have seen over the years. Some vintage pen sellers also sell it on the web.

It's quite a good deal for USD500 for this pen, considering the NOS status

And BTW, have you ever tried this one and how about the feeling?
Seems that someone complained it for its bad (or not good?) writing comfort and unsmoothness.

Tks!

笔是好笔，设计足够前卫和大胆，但我心底却不太喜欢，也因为当年成本太高，才有了顶瘾的派克50，假如不从收藏的角度出发，一只派克50足以...

终于见到传说中的T1，不知道写起来会不会很硬？
看来这家伙真的可以当武器使。

呵呵，我们的目标是：把钛金属运用到任何地方

对了，楼主能否SHOW一下T1的上墨

Here are some information. I don't know how to find the official info, but the owner of this site is quite an experienced collector:

对不起，我的中文打的太慢。一行要花10分钟。不然谁TMD写鸟语！
我也看到说T1不结实，而且笔尖的IRIDIUM(铱)一掉就全玩儿完，修都修不了。一直没敢真用它写。过几天上上墨给大家操练一把(现在正出差在外)。

虽然真正用T-1做日常用笔的少之又少！但。。。。。
