PA3703 Parker 61 Custom Ballpoint.

Date: c1960s

Size: Length - 132mm.

This is a beautiful Parker 61 Custom ballpoint.  It is in India Black with the rolled gold cap and it is in excellent and as far as I can see, totally undamaged condition.   The cap has a clear grey top jewel, and the body of the cap is 1/10 12ct rolled gold and has the "converging lines" decoration.  Around the cap lip is imprinted "Parker", and "Made in England" and there is a further imprint on the barrel "61".  The arrow-shaped pocket clip is also rolled gold.  This is a retractable ballpoint - you press down on the cap to extend and retract the writing point.  It is fitted with what is probably its original Parker T-Ball refill in blue, and this is still in working order. 

I have fully serviced this ballpoint.  It works perfectly, and is in really lovely condition.  It would be equally at home in a collection or as a daily user.
