Do Spanish Treasure Fleet 75s exist without the appropriate inscription on the cap band?
July 23, 2001 No, all Spanish Treasure Fleet 75 FP and BP have the special inscription indicating they are that. I have heard of such items being offered, but I believe it is a misconception the seller has. Apparently the salvager Mel Fisher who found the sunken silver treasure gave his investors a Parker 75 and may have given this impression to the recipient. He might have stated that Parker used his salvaged silver to make into pens like these normal 75 and such statements were misinterpreted. That’s just my conjecture and I have no hard evidence of this.
