Product Description
Type Fountain Pen
Product Name Parker 61, Mark II
Manufacturer and Year Parker, Argentina -- 1959-62
Length 5-1/2"
Filling System Fixed aerometric (squeeze) filing system. The earlier Parker 61s had the tricky capillary filling system, but this is the straight-forward aerometric filling version.
Color Dark Dark Green barrel and section. The cap is shiny steel or chrome-plated, with a pattern of grouped lines. Gold clip and brushed steel cap with gold clip. Double pearlized jewels on either end of the fountain pen.
Nib Medium hooded steel (or octanium) nib. (These Argentinian P61s have two metal dots instead of the inset arrow on the hood.)
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a shiny pen in a lovely, subtle color. The barrel and section have very light scratching. The cap has microscratching, and also some plating wear near the cap lip. The clip has brassing and plating wear on the high spots. The pearlized jewels look excellent. The imprints, including "Industria Argentina", are clear.
