My aunt worked there during it's heyday. Anyone recommend a replica kit that would come close to the Parker pens of old?

My brother-in laws Dad worked there for quite a few years. He passed away a few years ago. I know that he had acquired a large collection of parker pens during his employment. Many of them were worth some serious money.
