PA3636 Parker Slimfold (Soft Medium-Broad)

Date: c1970

Size: Length Capped - 125mm; Length Posted - 143mm.

A later model burgundy Slimfold with the narrow cap lip band and the Parker 45 style pocket clip.  This pen is in fair to good condition.  It is rather let down by some moderate drawer wear to the cap and barrel, but it does retain a generally glossy appearance.  The rolled gold trim all appears to be in good shiny condition. The barrel unscrews to reveal the Aerometric filler.  This is also in good condition - the sac guard still has all its plating intact with no corrosion, and the original pliglass ink sac shows only mild internal staining with some transparency still when you hold it up to the light.  The 14 carat gold nib, size 5, is original to the pen and is in a medium to broad width. 

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib writes with a good wet line and a super smooth action -the line is of a generous medium width.  The softness to the nib gives it a good springy action and it will even manage a little line width variation with normal writing pressure.  

 Not the best Slimfold I have ever had by any means, but it has a sweet little nib and works perfectly.
