Additional Information
Extremely rare.
It is considered one of the rarest pens in the world. For Art & Antiques magazine, May 2013 The Parker Aztec (
) could go for $100,000 if one happened to appear on the market in good condition. (
) Made between 1911 and 1916 (
), only four to six examples are thought to exist. Its truly a holy grail of pen collecting
