In the late '70's I went into a farm store in the bush and they had a Parker pen for sale. It was new but covered in dust and grime.
I bought it for nearly nothing, and then used it up to 2016 when I bought it home, and promptly lost it. It's around though.
Plastic body, stainless steel cap. Nib worn but still good. Came with an ink refiller or cartridge attachment. I looked after it and cleaned it regularly etc.
Old story - a cheap buy sometimes lasts and lasts!!!
