Parker Sonnet

Parker Sonnet

Parker Sonnet fountain pens and Parker Sonnet rollerball pens are ranges of pens made by the Parker Pen Company.

Sonnet Mk 1 fountain pens were first sold in 1993, but its manufacture has been superseded by the Sonnet Mk 2, which has a wider cap band. Both the Mk 1 and Mk 2 Sonnet fountain pens have several variants; some have solid 18kt gold nibs, some have gold plated trim, some have caps and shafts made with sterling silver and others with stainless steel, some are coated with lacquers or paints or other substances, and some are silver plated.

There is also a range of Parker Sonnet rollerball pens.

Counterfeit pens

The Parker Sonnet is well known for being one of the most commonly counterfeited pens produced by a major company, with fake Sonnets commonly showing up on second-hand markets such as eBay. It is one of only a few major pen models (as well as the ST Dupont Orpheo and many Mont Blanc pens) that were so widely counterfeited that fake pens are regularly sold in many markets.
