PA3581 Parker 51 Aerometric. (Medium)
Date: c1950s
Size: Capped - 138mm; posted - 154mm.
A lustrous India black English Parker 51. The barrel and hood are completely undamaged with no splits, cracks or chips and no noticeable surface scratches either. The cap body is in very good condition, with the delicate frosting still very much in evidence, and just ths usual fine and wispy scratches in the frosting. The cap has a chrome plated Parker arrow pocket clip of the short variety and the cap body is frosted with a narrow polished lip band. The imprint which is just above this band says just "PARKER". The grey jewel is undamaged . The undamaged 14 carat gold hooded nib is in a medium width point. Unscrew the barrel to expose the aerometric filler. This is brushed stainless steel, and is still in excellent condition. The original pli-glass ink sac has some internal ink staining as they nearly all do, is still in perfectly serviceable condition, and likely will still be in another 50 years time.
I have fully serviced this pen. It writes superbly with the very smooth, wet medium width line that you would expect of a Parker 51.
