The pen's fitted with a fine 14k gold nib which produces a writing line of around 0.4mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn first sight, the pencil looks like a regular 51 continuous feed pencil taking 0.9mm leads.  However, it's actually quite a rare propelling pencil taking 1.18mm leads which was only produced for a short time in 1952\/3.  This pencil is operated by rotating the cap - clockwise to extend the lead and anticlockwise to withdraw the lead.  We will supply some 1.18mm leads with this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition wise, both the pen and ballpoint show little if any signs of having been used. Both caps retain almost all of the original factory frosted finish just with some light storage scuffs. The lucite (type of plastic) front shell and barrels are in superb condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesign features such as both caps having the simple 'Parker' imprint to the front, the long transitional clip, metal cage clutch all agree with the date code in the barrel imprints on both pen and pencil of 1953\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set comes with the hardshell Parker box and instruction leaflet for the 'New Parker 51' shown in the photos.  This design of this box is one used by Parker in the 1950s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition A2\/1f - (Ref 13430)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__description rte\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__description rte\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee our \u003ca class=\"text-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.penhome.co.uk\/pages\/our-pen-condition-scale\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCondition Grading Scale\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have fully serviced this pen which includes disassembling the pen, ultrasonically cleaning all the parts and fitting a new pliglass ink sac.
