PA1400: Parker 61 Flighter, boxed.

Date: c1960s

Size: Capped - 5 3/8 inches; posted - 6 inches.

Parker 61 Flighters are quite unusual items.  This English pen is in excellent condition.  I can find no dings on either barrel or cap and the only damage is very slight marking in the barrel frosting where the cap has been posted, and a small clip mark to the cap.  The cap has a clear grey top jewel and a rolled gold Parker arrow pocket clip.  This is an original Mk. I model with the teflon coated capillary filler.  Unscrew the barrel for access to filler, which is in excellent condition with all its original teflon coating.   The glossy black coloured hood has the silver Parker 61 inlaid arrow near the tip.  The nib is made from 14 carat gold and is in a medium point.  

I have fully serviced this pen.  The filler works without any problems at all.  The nib is very smooth and writes with an excellent wet and generous medium width line.
