Parker 75 Pen & Pencil?

As far as I know, yes. I have a pen only and its box looks similar. Underneath - pull the little tab up - there should be an adjustment tool for turning the nib relative to the three sided grip.
Beautiful looking set Ray Guy!

Yes. Probably. Depends on the age of the 75. They were a long run.

It does have the ring, but it looks like the tool is missing
Very nice set! I just recently bought my first 75 and it has quickly become my favorite pen.
I don't think you really need the little plastic tool, although I've never felt the need to change mine. It keeps your fingers from getting inky if you want to adjust while the pen is loaded.

I read the instructuions about adjusting without the tool, and made a minor change before I filled it with ink. It took a long time to write the water out. I can't stop writing with the 75. It's fantastic
Do the "tassies" on the ends of the cap and barrel have indents or are they flat? Only the very early Cisele 75s had the flat ones!

The tassies are flat. There are engravings on the top tassies of the pen and pencil with the letters "Dn". This may devalue them a little, but I don't plan on selling them anytime soon.
Are threads where the barrel screws onto the section plastic or metal?

Plastic section threads, metal cap threads on my early Parker 75s

Plastic, not one of the earliest, but as long as it performs magnificently, I’m fine.
Exactly. Mine is the same model - plastic threads and flat tassie. They're great performers!
Thats the wrong box, better send me the whole set for proper disposal...

Doug, I just checked the threads on the cap and they are metal (internal threads).

Fat chance!
I've got my Dad's 75 set that he used while working.
It has 3 pieces (BP, Pencil, FP).
I love writing with it.
You've got a very nice set there. Take care of it and it will serve you well.

Funny you should make this post.
A Parker 75 (in sterling silver like these) was my first really good fountain pen - bought for $32.50 while I went to university. I received the matching ball point and pencil as gifts and used them for many years. I passed this set along to one of my sons. I hope he too enjoys using it.
