This is an English Parker 51 Mk1 Custom in grey with a rolled gold cap. It's fitted with a fine 14k gold nib which produces a writing line of around 0.4mm
Condition wise, this has been looked and is in good overall shape. The cap is very clean with the normal micro-scratches and just one micro (<1mm) nick on the back. The barrel imprint is still just readable
In terms of dating, the cap has the simple 'Parker' imprint to the front and the standard '1/10 12ct R.Gold' imprint to the rear. The cap has the the earlier cage clutch and the earlier longer clip so early 1950s
Condition B/1f - (Ref 12958)

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.
