Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a velvety black, shiny pen with a silky smooth cap and with a classic Parker 51 Vac appearance. The barrel looks very good, with mainly light scratching and some more moderate scratching toward the end on the blind cap. The last photo shows a white streak but there is no such streak on the barrel. The section has scratching all around the feed. The cap has moderate scratching with a little patch of small deepish scratches (they look like tool marks) just up from the cap band. The clip has light plating wear on some of the edges of the arrow. The blue diamond has a few tiny black marks on it but the blue paint is intact. The pearlized cap jewel has light crackling and wear. The clip band has plating wear along the edges. The Made in Canada imprint is partially worn down. The clip imprint is clear.
