Black Parker 51 Gold Filled (GF) Fountain Pen, good sac







Parker 51 (black) aerometric with a 1/10 12K Gold Filled cap

The gold nib is fine pointed, although it borders medium. Please see the nib photo. The pen has a few light scratches from being capped/posted/used. The barrel has no inscriptions as to identify the year of production. There are no cracks, nor dings anywhere, but please refer to the photos for more detail. The jewel is excellent, intact. The cap is in great condition.  However, there are (very) minor signs of wear around the jewel - please refer to that appropriate photo.  It's not an obvious problem, but I want to disclose everything.  The nib has plenty of iridium tipping - please refer to the third photo.  The ink sac is stained from use and it is original, pliable. I am reluctant to change it, considering it fills properly. The fill bar is inscribed, 'TO FILL PRESS RIBBED BAR FIRMLY 4 TIMES USE DRY WRITING SUPERCHROME INK. HOLDING PEN POINT DOWN, WIPE POINT WITH SOFT TISSUE THE PARKER PEN CO. MADE IN U.S.A.  PARKER "51"'

Overall, the pen is in good working condition.

Price: $43
SOLD - 4/03/12
