RayFI am trying hard to add reasons under "Justification to Buy". I know they are most likely manufactured in China, but I am hoping that they still have some secret sauce that makes Parkers stand out.
RayFI am not implying anything, just that so many manufacturers these days have chosen to allow other companies to be their OEM suppliers, so I am asking if Parker is one of them.
Penaddict23Anyone suggesting that Parker doesn't make their own nibs, or that Parker Duofolds aren't made is France (where they have been for ages, and as @benshepherd has pointed out), can meet me out behind the Cafeteria at 3:30! And that goes for you @MrSharkbait and you Mrs. @Penaddict23 !
MrSharkbaitBecause your question indicated you might have picked up on something I wasn't aware of.
So, I decided to ask if you knew from whence you spoke. I see now you were just spreading an ugly and vicious rumor. Sort of like me, asking: "does Donald Trump still wear Melania's underwear?"
