Product Description

Product Name Parker 51 Special.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in U.S.A. -- 1950s.
Length 5-1/2 inches, full size.
Filling System Aerometric squeeze filling system. We've cleaned and tested it, it's working well.
Color The color is black. Shiny stainless steel cap with an arrow clip, chrome plated trim, and a pearlescent jewel. Since the cap seems like a real shiny cap and not an overly polished lustraloy cap, this implies that it is the right cap with the wrong/unexpected jewel.
Nib FINE octanium nib is smooth and firm with tons of tipping material. It's a smooth and nice looking nib. It loks like it might write a bit narrow for a vintage Parker fine.
Condition Excellent condition. Handwear and a few marks on the cap, but no dents or dings. The cap jewel is a bit discolored. There is plating wear on the fletching part of the arrow clip. No personalization. It's working very well. In the photos it looks like there is a dent on the cap lip, but that is just a reflection..
