PA3545 Parker Slimfold. (Soft Broad)

Date: c1960s

Size: Capped - 127mm; posted - 142mm.

This lovely glossy burgundy Slimfold is in very goo condition.  Both barrel and cap are free from cracks, chips and splits with a lovely glossy sheen...  The cap has a rolled gold pocket clip that is held on by a conical blue top "jewel".  All the trim is undamaged with no plate loss at all.  The barrel imprint is quite shallow as many of them are, but it is complete and quite easy to read.  The 14 carat yellow gold Parker No. 5 nib is also undamaged and in a broad point.  The aerometric filler is accessed by unscrewing the barrel.  It is also undamaged with the original pliglass ink sac which shows the usual internal ink staining.   

I have fully serviced this pen.  It writes very smoothly and produces a wet and broad width line.  The nib does have some softness and will provide for some understated but attractive line width variation as you write from a medium to a good solid broad.
