A very nice India black Parker 51.  This pen is in excellent condition.  There are no noticeable scratches or other damage to the barrel or hood, and the cap still has all its original and delicate frosting with no dings or noticeable scratches.  The grey top jewel is clear with no chips or cracks.  The brushed Lustraloy cap body is still looking good - there are the usual very fine and wispy scratches as you would expect.  The lucite barrel and hood are still glossy.  The lovely 14 carat gold hooded nib is undamaged and is in a broad point.  Unscrewing the barrel, the Aerometric filler is made from brushed stainless steel and unmarked by damage.  The original pliglass ink sac is still fitted and is still in perfectly serviceable condition.

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 broad width line.  This is a stubby-writing nib and will provide some lovely, if understated, line width variation as you write from a medium to a good, solid broad width.
