The photos above are of the actual pen we are offering for sale here
This is an English Parker 65 Presidential in 9k gold with barley engine turning to the cap and barrel. Each gold part of the pen is separately hallmarked by the London Assay Office with the clip and cap being marked '9 .375' for 9k gold and the barrel carrying the full set of assay marks for the Parker Pen Company (PPCo) and the date letter 'o' for 1969
The 65 is a variant of the 61 with the sole difference being the design of the nib unit - unlike the 61 with its hooded nib, the 65 has a traditional open nib. Any cartridge/converter 61 nib unit could be interchanged for the 65 unit if a hooded nib is preferred
This is fitted with a 14k gold medium+ nib which produces a writing line of around 0.7mm which is a generous medium (usually 0.6mm with Parker nibs) and close to broad (0.8mm)
In terms of condition, this is in excellent condition with no dings or dents and has only seen some very light usage. The cartouche on the barrel is unengraved - see photos above
This comes with its original Parker Presidential red leatherette hardshell box as shown in the photos above
Condition B/1m - (Ref 12904)

We have fully serviced this pen which includes disassembling the pen, ultrasonically cleaning all the parts and fitting a converter. 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 and cap fit.
This fills from an ink bottle using the converter (supplied) or will also take regular modern Parker ink 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
