Product Name Parker Jack Knife Safety Pen Lucky Curve - model 20 (per the end of the barrel) or 23 ... this is the full length version. The end of the barrel is stamped with 20, but there's a sticker on the barrel that indicates "No. 23".
Manufacturer and Year Parker USA - Late 1920s
Length 5-3/8" inches.
Filling System Button filler. Excellent filling system with a new sac. We guarantee the filling system for a year from the date of purchase.
Color Black smooth hard rubber body and cap with nickel clip and gold plated cap band. Black top and button.
Nib FINE FLEXIBLE Parker Lucky Curve #2 nib, with full flex, though we wouldn't call it a wet noodle. See our writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition. The pen has fading, and is mostly a dark olive color. There is a sharp line near the front of the barrel showing where the cap has protected the pen from fading. The imprints are faded by handwear, but you can still make them out. Small tooth marks on the blind cap. The sticker around the barrel is in excellent shape. There's just a little brassing on the sides and ball of the clip, but otherwise the plating looks good. The cap band has some brassing, but is still quite attractive. No chips or cracks. It's quite nice looking, fairly well preserved, and working very well.
