PA3681 Parker 51 Aerometric. (Fine)

Date: c1950s

Size: Capped - 152mm; posted - 154mm.

An English made burgundy Parker 51 Aerometric that is in good condition.  There are no splits, cracks, chips with just the usual micro-scratches and a couple of slightly larger scratches mainly to the cap frosting.  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 just "PARKER".  The cap has a chrome plated pocket clip.  The barrel and hood are still glossy though there is a small amount of discolouration to the barrel.  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, though it does have the usual internal ink staining.  

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..
