Authenticity check

How to tell genuine Parker products from fakes.

1. Check that the packaging is original: each Parker collection has its own gift box. Box types are usually shown in the photos together with the pen. Compare with box photos on other popular sites to make sure the product is genuine. Boxes are always included and free of charge!!!

2. Prices of writing instruments are not strictly set by the supplier, but they are still controlled. So if the price is suspiciously low (especially in the regions), it is most likely not a genuine Parker product (the exception being discontinued models, which are usually absent from official sites). This is easy to check by searching for the SKU of the pen you like.

3. Writing instruments always come with a refill, ink cartridge or leads, depending on the writing system.

4. A high-quality engraved or printed Parker logo (current design) must be present.

Of course, there are far more honest sellers online offering genuine Parker products. But forewarned is forearmed, and these precautions will help you buy a truly high-quality, genuine Parker writing instrument!
