Condition
|
Very nice working example of the classic Parker 51 Vac, with newly restored filling system. Signs of light use and handwear, but otherwise the body is in very nice condition. Very shiny with few marks or scratches. The blind cap is a a little lighter in color than the rest of the barrel. The cap is the weakest aspect of the pen. It has a few small light marks and brassing along the edge of the cap. It is personalized LVL. We have priced this pen accordingly. If you have a good cap, here's a chance to get an excellent restored body. |
