The photos above are of the actual pen we are offering for sale here
This is an English Parker 51 Mk1 Classic in light burgundy with a brushed steel cap. It's fitted with a fine 14k gold nib which produces a writing line of around 0.4mm
This has only been lightly used, and is in excellent overall shape and everything, including the cap fit, is quite crisp. The original barrel imprints are easy to read which is a good indication as to how little use this pen has seen
In terms of dating, the cap has the simple 'Parker' imprint, the earlier cage clutch and the later short clip which suggests that this is mid-late 1950s
Condition B/1f (Ref 12889)

We have fully serviced this pen which includes disassembling the pen, ultrasonically cleaning all the parts and fitting a new pliglass ink sac. We then reassemble the pen, check ink flow and the smoothness of the nib. We also check and adjust the tightness and positioning of the clip.
This is a Parker 51 with the aerometric filling system. The pen fills from an ink bottle and does not take cartridges
This pen comes with our normal 12 month warranty. We keep a detailed record of each customer's purchases so if you need to call us, we will have all the information here to answer any query
