Size: Capped - 140mm; posted - 153mm.
An English India Black Parker 51 Aerometric that is still in excellen condition. There are no splits, cracks, chips with just the usual few micro-scratches mainly to the cap frosting, and a pinprick sized surface blemish to the right of the pocket clip stem. The cap body still has most of its frosting intact and looks the part. The grey cap top jewel is clear with no chips or cracks. Around the cap lip is the imprint, showing "PARKER" to the front and "MADE IN ENGLAND" to the rear. 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 fine point. Unscrewing the barrel, the Aerometric filler is made from polished 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 fine point nib feels very smooth on paper, and writes with a very pleasing wet and consistent line.
