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 II.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, Argentina -- 1959-62
Length 5-3/8"
Filling System Aerometric filling system. Tested and working well.
Color Flighter (brushed steel cap and barrel with shiny steel clip). Red plastic section. Pearlized cap and barrel jewels.
Nib FINE steel nib.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a lovely, silky pen in a classic design, with a surprise pop of color on the section. The barrel has very light scratching. The cap has small scattered scratches. The clip has microscratching and some tiny dots of pitting. The pearlized cap jewel looks excellent. The barrel jewel has a little glue around half of the edge. The imprints, including "Industria Argentina" are clear.
