The photos above are of the actual pen we are offering for sale here
This is a Mk1 English Parker 51 Classic with steel cap in teal blue. This is fitted with a 14k gold nib which produces a writing line of around 0.7mm - this is mid way between a medium and a broad. It's a little broader than a standard medium but not quite a full broad.
In terms of condition, this has been carefully looked after and is in excellent overall condition with crisp imprints on the barrel
In terms of dating, this is probably from around the mid 1950s as the cap has the earlier cage style clutch; the barrel is imprinted 'Parker Made in England' and the cap has the simple 'Parker' imprint
Condition B/1m+ - (Ref 12869)

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
