Filling System Button filler. Excellent restored filling system.
Color Black & pearl ("Moderne") permanite body and cap with gold filled trim. Three cap bands. Black end pieces.
Nib Medium Parker Duofold pen nib (this is a very large nib). Very firm, good tipping. There's a short crack running less than 1/8" down from the nib breather hole, but this shouldn't worsen because the nib will not be flexed during writing.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks. This is a large, over-sized pen that is shiny and that has a lovely color pattern. The color has darkened to a coppery brown on the barrel and on most of the cap. Some of the original color is peeking out on the cap, at the cap bands and at the very top. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and light to moderate scratching. The cap has moderate scratching with some small, scattered marks toward the top. The surface between the cap bands has blemishes and scratching. The cap bands have some plating wear along edges and the middle one is wavy on the top edge. The clip has plating wear on the ball end and a few small, deep marks and scratches but it is gold and shiny. The black cap top and blind cap look great. The imprint is clear.
