Visually, the clip stands out with raised feathers rather than the earlier engraved version. Additionally, the gold cap and barrel bands became raised or convex rather than flat.  In late 1992, the location of the 'Parker Made in UK' imprint was switched from the back of the cap to the blind cap at the end of the barrel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pen features the raised flight feathers on the clip, the convex bands and the cap imprint\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe International is a slightly smaller diameter pen than the Centennial\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have fully serviced this pen which includes disassembling the pen and ultrasonically cleaning all the parts.  We then reassemble the pen, check ink flow and the smoothness of the nib.
