Interestingly enough, this newly discovered cap on the right, out of Germany, shows what would appear an imprint on the cap for export.\u00a0 The cap is marked “585” instead of the usual U.S. imprint of 14k, probably due to European laws concerning gold content.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sterling Silver Caps with lined pattern and gold filled clips.\u00a0\u00a0Although this design essentially carried over into the later production pens, the chevron cap bands for First Year pens have a unique, simpler design.\u00a0 Several versions of these caps exist.\u00a0 The most common has the\u00a0“Sterling Silver” imprint below the chevron band.\u00a0 A second version is nowhere imprinted as to metal content.\u00a0 A third version has the “Sterling Silver” imprint up by the clips in a rectangle box.\u00a0 <\/span>Found with aluminum jewels.\u00a0\u00a0These caps were also advertised by early Parker catalogs as the “Heritage” with 14k solid gold trim.<\/p>\n
