A very attractive India Black Slimfold in excellent condition. There are no splits, cracks or chips and not even any noticeable scratches on either barrel or cap. All trim is rolled gold and again has no damage. I really can't see anything wrong with this one at all.  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. The original pliglass ink sac is still present and nice and supple with only minor internal ink staining, it retains a good deal of its original transparency. The nib is a shiny Parker No. 5 in 14 carat gold. It is a fine point. 

I have fully serviced this pen. The nib is very smooth and writes with a lovely wet and consistent line.  It is a soft nib and will even provide for a tiny bit of line width variation.
