The photos above are of the actual pen we are offering for sale here
This is an English Parker 51 Classic with steel cap in teal blue. This is fitted with a 14k gold nib which produces a writing line of around 0.5mm. This is mid way between Parker's standard fine width of 0.4mm and the medium at 0.6mm. For comparison, a modern Lamy steel medium produces this 0.5mm width line
In terms of condition, this has been carefully looked after and is in excellent overall condition
Date wise, this is probably around 1963-4 as the cap has both the four prong clutch and the halo imprint, but not the later '51' imprint. This pen also has earlier black ended sac protector.
Condition B/1f-m - (Ref 12959)

We have fully serviced this pen which includes disassembling the pen, ultrasonically cleaning all the parts and fitting a new pliglass ink sac. We then reassemble the pen, check ink flow and the smoothness of the nib. We also check and adjust the tightness and positioning of the clip.
This is a Parker 51 with the aerometric filling system. The pen fills from an ink bottle and does not take cartridges
