A very attractive dark navy blue Slimfold in excellent condition.  This pen has some very minor surface wear to the cap and barrel that you will probably not notice without magnification.  All trim is rolled gold.  The cap is topped with a blue "jewel" with a rolled gold tassie and an arrow pocket clip and "deco" engraved cap band.  Both cap and barrel are nice and glossy.  The barrel unscrews to reveal the Aerometric filler.  This is in almost pristine condition - none of the usual plating wear to the sac guard.  The original pliglass ink sac is still present and retains some of its original transparency with just a little bit if a colour caste.  The nib is a shiny Parker No. 5 in 14 carat gold.  It is a medium point.

I have fully serviced this pen.  I did just dip the nib to get the writing sample below.  The nib is very smooth and writes with a lovely wet and consistent medium width line.  The nib also has some softness - I would class it as semi-flexible - and it will even give you some very attractive line width variation from a fine-to-medium width on the horizontals to a decent broad on the verticals with very little effort.
