PA3526 Parker Slimfold (Medium)

Date: c1960s

Size: Capped - 126mm; posted - 144mm.

Anattractive India Black Slimfold in good condition.  As you can see, this pen is somewhat let down by the plating wear to the edges of the pocket clip and also to the cap band.  It is a shame in a was as otherwise the pen is in very nice condition.  However, it does mean that I can offer the pen at a very reasonable price.  There are no splits, cracks or chips and not even any noticeable scratches on either barrel or cap.  The cap is topped with a conical black "jewel" and has a washer style arrow pocket clip and narrow "deco" engraved cap band.  The barrel unscrews to reveal the Aerometric filler.  This is also in very nice condition.  The original pliglass ink sac is still present and still in good serviceable condition.  It does have the usual internal ink staining which is very much a consequence of use with these Aerometric pens.  The nib is a shiny Parker No. 5 in 14 carat gold.  It is in a medium point.

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib is very smooth and writes with a lovely wet and consistent medium width line.
