Filling System Button filler, we've restored it with a new sac and it's working well.
Color Naples Blue is a nice bright blue. It is a little greener and lighter in hand than in the photographs. It has a 1/8" cap band.
Nib FINE SEMI-FLEXIBLE Parker Lucky Curve Pen nib marked P is smooth with nice tipping material. It has a bit of flex to it for line variation. See the writing sample below. The tines are a little bent and appear to have been straightened, and there are a few stcratches along the slit but they are only on the face and not on the underside so they do not affect writing.
Condition Excellent + condition. The cap band has a few marks on it but no plating wear. There is a small discolored spot on the barrel. The blind cap is slightly lightened. The barrel imprint is very clear. No cracks, chips, or personalization. There are a few marks on the cap but no scratches.
