Parker 75 Crosshatch grid, (Ciselé ), 1964 - 1993 from Thailand Bangkok

Parker 75 Crosshatch grid, aka as Ciselé, 1964 - 1993

This must be one of the most recognizable and iconic Parker 75 with its cross-hatch square grid made design of vertical and horizontal engraved lines, equally spaced to form 3,330 tiny squares. For me, this is the value for money fountain pen where one can own a solid sterling silver (mixture of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper) pen at a reasonable costs. It was marked "Sterling silver" or "925" on cap band.
