51
Mark 1 - When one thinks
of the classic Parker 51, one generally has in mind the Mk1 as illustrated
immediately below with the short arrow clip and rounded end to the barrel.
These were in production in the UK from around 1948 to 1972.
In 1969, Parker UK introduced the Mk2 which is most easily distinguished from
the Mk1 by having a squared off end to its barrel. In the mid 1970s, the Mk3
was introduced.
Buying a 51

Parker 51 Mark 2 and Mark 3
In 1969 in the UK, Parker introduced the Mk2 which is most easily distinguished
from the Mk1 by having a squared off end to its barrel. In the mid 1970s,
the Mk3 was introduced. Both have caps and clips similar to the Parker
61 and illustrate Parker's rationalization of production during the 1970s.
