PA3752 Parker 51 Aerometric. (Fine)

Date: c1950s

Size: Capped - 140mm; posted - 155mm.

This 1950s dove grey coloured Parker 51 is in excellent condition with the only damage that I can see being a tiny pinprick to the cap beside the pocket clip. There are no splits, cracks, chips and no noticeable scratches to either cap or barrel/hood.  The cap body exhibits the lovely, delicate frosting that you'd expect to see on these Parker 51 pens.  The grey cap top jewel is clear with no chips or cracks.  Around the cap lip is the imprint, showing just "PARKER".  The cap has a chrome-plated and short-flight arrow-style pocket clip.  The barrel and hood are still glossy with no noticeable scratches or any other damage.  The lovely 14-carat gold hooded nib is in a fine point.  Unscrewing the barrel, the Aerometric filler is made from polished stainless steel and is unmarked by damage.  The original pliglass ink sac is still fitted and is still in perfectly serviceable condition. 

I have fully serviced this pen. The fine point nib feels very smooth on paper, and writes with a very pleasing, wet and consistent line.
