The photos above are of the actual pen we are offering for sale here
This is an English Parker 51 Custom with a rolled gold cap in teal blue. This is fitted with a fine 14k gold nib which produces a writing line of around 0.4mm.
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
The imprint on the reverse of the cap reads "1/10 12ct R Gold Made in England' which indicates that the gold content of the rolled gold on the cap is 1/10th (10%) 12 carat
This pen comes with its original card box and set of filling instructions
Condition B/1f - (Ref 13321)

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
