Product Name Parker 51 Vacumatic
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA - 1946 (imprint clearly shows a 6 date code).

Filling System Piston/plunger (Vacumatic). We've fully restored the filling system and it's working well.
Color Cedar blue body, 1/10 14k gold filled cap with a pattern of even parallel lines in groups of 9 up it. Short blue diamond clip (the blue paint is excellent) and pearlescent cap jewel.
Nib EXTRA FINE gold nib is fairly smooth, with nice tipping. It's very firm.
Condition Excellent condition with some wear. There's some light scratching on the barrel and a little on the section as well. The cap is in great condition, with one tiny, pinpoint indent and a few microscratches. The clip has just a little plating wear on its edges, but looks great, with nice blue diamond paint remaining. The cap jewel is very clean and looks great. No cracks or chips, no personalization. The imprints are clear and readable, and the filling system is fully restored. The pen is working well and looking beautiful.
