PA3658 Parker 51 Aerometric. (Medium)

Date: c1950s

Size: Capped - 140mm; posted - 153mm.

This 1950s India Black Parker 51 is in very good condition with the only damage that I could find being a circular clip mark in the frosting of the cap.  At some point in its life, the pocket clip was loose and the terminal rubbing on the body of the cap created the slightly shinier line in the frosting.  This is very common with these pens . 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 just "PARKER".  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.
