A very attractive glossy dark blue standard sized Aerometric Duofold with rolled gold trim and a Parker Newhaven nib. The pen is in very good condition. The only damage I can spot on this pen is some minor plating wear to the edges of the pocket clip and to the edges of the wide cap band. Internally, the filling mechanism is in excellent condition. The cap has a blue conical end "jewel" and a rolled gold Parker Arrow pocket clip. There is also a wide cap band - also rolled gold - that has the usual "deco" engraving. The lovely nib is a Parker Newhaven nib in 14 carat yellow gold and in a medium point. The original Pli-glass sac is still present and shows just the usual internail ink staining.
I have fully serviced this pen. It fills and writes superbly. The nib produces a very good wet and consistent medium width line.
