Description: Offered for your consideration is a vintage PARKER Systemark pen, USA-manufactured c.1976. The Systemark was introduced c.1975 as a multi-pen, able to use three different, interchangeable cartridges—soft felt tip, stylus (firm fiber tip), and their newly-developed floating ball (rollerball). It was the progenitor of the Vector rollerball pen, but designed much more nicely. This PARKER Systemark features a plastic burgundy barrel and attractive brushed stainless steel cap with chrome-plated clip and trim (CT). Plus, it has a barrel-color captop tassie. So, please have a look at my large photos and read the remaining description to decide if this Systemark pen should join your PARKER collection. This PARKER Systemark is in clean, excellent condition. It measures 5⅛” long capped, 5⅜” with cap posted atop, and just over ⅜” at widest. There are no cracks, dings, or scratches, just some very light usage marks from the years. I did note that there is a hint of play, a tiny jiggle when the press-fit cap and barrel are securely joined, which is how it came from the factory, and the clip end has a touch of lift off of the cap. Overall, this handsome pen is quite nicely preserved. This Systemark came with all three original cartridges still in the small manila PARKER envelope, and all three were dry or empty after 45 years as you’d expect. One or two leaked and stained the envelope. Plus, I inserted the empty rollerball cartridge for a photo, but have it back in the envelope with the others. I don’t have a spare PARKER rollerball refill for this pen, otherwise I’d include it. As such, the new owner will have to provide their own in order to use the pen. PARKER rollerball refills are available just about anywhere decent pens are sold, and, of course, on eBay. Lastly, the pen comes in an original PARKER Systemark gift box with brushed steel trim on the lid and formed, soft-contact insert. The box is in great shape with only negligible handling marks from the years. The PARKER Systemark is just a super nice pen that feels perfect in the hand. Some lucky buyer will be very pleased with this fairly uncommon find! As pictured and described, this remarkable PARKER Systemark pen in original box is offered at a competitive price.
