PA3530 Parker 51 Aerometric. (Medium)

Date: c1960s

Size: Capped - 139mm; posted - 154mm.

This 1950s India Black Parker 51 is in very good condition with just some very minor foxing to the chrome plating on the pocket clip - even the frosting on the cap appears unmarked by scratches.  There are no splits, cracks, chips and no noticeable scratches to either cap or barrel/hood.  The cap body exhibits the lovely delicate frosting that you'd expect to see on these Parker 51 pens.  The grey cap top jewel is clear with no chips or cracks.  Around the cap lip is the imprint, showing "PARKER" and "MADE IN ENGLAND" with the Parker halo trademark above.  This would probably date the pen to the early 1960s.  The cap has a chrome plated pocket clip.  The barrel and hood are still glossy with no noticeable scratches or any other damage.  The lovely 14 carat gold hooded nib is in a medium point.  Unscrewing the barrel, the Aerometric filler is made from brushed stainless steel and unmarked by damage.  The original pliglass ink sac is still fitted and is still in perfectly serviceable condition.  

I have fully serviced this pen. The medium point nib feels very smooth on paper, and writes with a very pleasing wet and consistent line.
