Product Description
Type Fountain Pen
Product Name Parker 61, Mark II. We think of the US Mark II as being the capillary-fill model with the wider clutch ring, but it could be they numbered them differently in Argentina ... these have aerometric filling systems, which wasn't a version of the pen we see in the USA, where the capillary filling system was replaced by a cartridge/converter filling pen and is considered the Mark III.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, Argentina -- 1959-62
Length 5-7/16"
Filling System Fixed aerometric (squeeze) filing system. Tested and working well.
Color Velvety, shiny black barrel and section. Gold cap with a repeating pattern of six lines and a space. Double pearlized jewels on either end of the fountain pen.
Nib Medium gold hooded nib.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a velvety black, shiny pen with a beautiful gold cap with a lined pattern. The barrel and section look fantastic with only very light scratching. The gold plated band at the end of the barrel has plating wear and a couple of dots of pitting. The cap has light microscratching. The arrow clip and clip ring have plating wear and pitting. The top pearlescent cap jewel has some light veining. The pearlescent jewel at the end of the barrel is perfect. The cap imprint, "Parker 61 MK II, Industria Argentina" is clear.
