After a long stint of not following this forum because I have very busy with work and the impending holiday I am in search of knowledge. Please help.
I had a customer ask me today, "What is the difference between one of your pens and a $350 Parker."
I was not really sure how to answer. After searching a little bit I noticed that mine are iridium nibs and most of the parkers are 18K gold. Other than that I would say that theirs are commercially made and mine are hand made. Mine are cheaper, but I think that they are better quality. (Maybe I should raise my prices> I deal mainly with Gentlemen's, Emperor, and Stateman pens.
Are there any other obvious differences that I should know about.
Forgive me if this has already been answered but I was not able to find anything in the forums using the search.
