This Limited Edition Fountain Pen is the fifth limited edition from Classic Pens (CP) and is the CP5 series known as the "VINTAGE" pattern (there is also a Modern model as well). The Vintage example has a Flattop design whereas the Modern example has a Streamlined design. The work of this fountain pen series was in cooperation between Classic Pens, Parker, and Murelli and this fountain pen is an official Parker Limited Edition. The series was launched in 1999 and remembers the vintage Parker Duofolds of the past. The CP5 cap band is laser engraved with the following, "Parker and its logo, CP5, Lambrou & Brown logo, as well as the limited edition number 0078 of 1888". A modern engraving machine was used exclusively to produce the patterns of the CP5 pens.

The cap is always securing tightly to the barrel. The cap and barrel have absolutely no damage, dents, or dings to the finish. This Fountain Pen measures 5 3/8" inches capped and 6 3/4" posted. This CP5 is quite a heavy pen weighing 2.50 ounces, you know you have a pen in your hand with this example.
