The photos above are of the actual pen we are offering for sale here
This is a Parker 51 Classic with steel cap in black and is fitted with a medium 14k gold nib which produces a writing line of around 0.6mm
Condition wise, this is an example and shows hardly any signs of having been used. The barrel still has some of the original chalk marks and very crisp imprints (see photo). The cap has its original factory frosting but also light storage scruffs as if it was just put away in a desk drawer for years with other pens
In terms of dating, this is from the mid 1950s as it has the simple 'Parker cap imprint, the earlier cap clutch design and the 'Parker Made in England' barrel imprint
This is an aerometric Parker 51. The pen fills from an ink bottle and does not take cartridges
Condition A2/1m - (Ref 12868)
