Nib Semi-Flexible "C" Parker Duofold nib with a fine italic nib. We don't think this was an italic done at the factory, it has the look of a modern nib grind. Please see writing sample.

The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip, light scratching, and heavy bite marks on the blind cap. The cap has light scratching. The cap band has microscratching and one splotchy area of plating wear. The clip has a few small dots of pitting on the ball end and a splotch of scratching near the "P".
