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 Aerometric filling system
Color Flighter (brushed steel cap and barrel with shiny steel clip). Dark green section. Pearlized cap jewel. Black barrel jewel.
Nib FINE gold nib.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a lovely, silky, monochromatic pen in a classic design. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and some light scratching. The cap has a few light shiny marks. The clip and clip ring are perfect. The pearlescent cap jewel is lovely. The black barrel jewel has some microscratching. The cap imprint (Parker 61 MK II, Industria Argentina), is clear.
