My source is Parker Pens Penography, DATE CODES - DATING A PEN IN MID 1934 PARKER BEGAN MARKING MOST PENS AND PENCILS WITH A DATE CODE, BOTH THE BARREL AND THE NIBS WERE MARKED. HOWEVER, LACKING A DATE CODE DOES NOT MEAN A PRE-1935 MADE PEN, SINCE MANY IMPRINTS HAVE BEEN WORN OFF WITH USE. THE FIRST DATE CODES WERE TWO DIGITS WHERE FIRST DIGIT DENOTING QUARTER OF PRODUCTION, 2ND DIGIT DENOTING THE PRODUCTION YEAR. FOR EXAMPLE: IF NIB DATE CODE OF 36 MEANS PRODUCED 3RD QUARTER OF 1936. In the second quarter of 1938 this system was however changed to save production time, and a new date code, using a system of dots was adopted. The stamp initially had three dots and for each quarter one dot was filed down leaving none for the fourth quarter. Since production was overlapping, examples exist with either the imprint 28 or 8 with two dots for the second quarter of 1938. Also, since this coding system extended over a decade, a pen marked .8., could have been produced the second quarter of 1938 or second quarter of 1948.
