Product Description
Type Fountain pen
Product Name Parker 51 Special (like a special it has a black jewel and a steel nib, though the filling system is not marked "Special" as we would expect).
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA - from after 1952 when they stopped marking their pens with a date code.
Length 5-1/8"
Filling System Aerometric squeeze filling system
Color Black with a "Lustraloy" stainless steel cap, arrow-clip, and black cap jewel.
Nib FINE steel nib is smooth, with nice tipping material.
Condition Very nice condition, we'd call it excellent were it not for a slightly rough patch on the cap just to the right of the clip (you can see it in the first photo). No cracks or chips, dings or dents, or personalization. It's wroking very well. Light wear on the barrel.
