A very lovely burgundy coloured English black Parker 51.  This pen is in excellent condition.  There are no noticeable scratches or other damage to the barrel, hood, or cap.  The grey top jewel is clear with no chips or cracks.  The brushed Lustraloy cap body still all of its original frosting with a very small ding to the side that I was not able to successsfully photograph and otherwise just the usual very fine and wispy micro-scratches, and no other damage.  The lucite barrel and hood are still glossy.   The lovely 14-carat gold hooded nib is undamaged and is in a medium width 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, with only the usual internal ink staining. The box is probably not original to the pen, it is a bit later.  It, too, is in good condition.  

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib writes very smoothly and fills effortlessly
