PA3673 Parker Slimfold (Soft Extra Fine)

Date: c1960s

Size: Length Capped - 127mm; Length Posted - 147mm.

A very attractive glossy burgundy Slimfold in excellent condition.  There are no splits, cracks, chips or noticeable surface scratches - everything is lovely and glossy.  All trim is rolled gold and is bright and shiny.  This is the earlier model Slimfold with the "Deco" engraved cap band and more detailed arrow shaped pocket clip.  The imprint to the side of the barrel is exceptionally deep and clear.  The barrel unscrews to reveal the Aerometric filler.  Again, this is all in lovely condition with just the usual internal ink stains to the pliglass ink sac.  The 14 carat gold nib, size 5, is original to the pen and is in a quite unusual extra fine width.

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib writes with a good wet line and a super smooth action.  It is surprising how many of these little Slimfold nibs are soft.  This one is no exception, even managing a little understated line width variation as you write.
