PA3803 Parker 65 Stratus (Medium)

Date: c1970s

Size: Capped - 137mm; posted - 149mm.

This is a lovely, glossy all gold plated Parker 65.  It is in the lovely and very unusual Stratus finish and is in excellent and undamaged condition. This pen is in excellent condition with the only damage on it that I could see being a slight unevenness to the gripping section - this is very common in these pens and invariably caused by the cap clutch pressing on the section.  The conical ended gold "jewels" are undamaged and so is the gold plated Parker arrow pocket clip.  The barrel has a matching gold jewel at its end, with a gold filled tassie surrounding it.   The barrel unscrews to allow the filling of the pen.  You can use a standard Parker ink converter, or standard Parker ink cartridges in this pen (not included). The beak shaped nib is made from 14 carat gold and looks to be in a medium point.  

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib is nice and smooth and writes with a very good wet and consistent medium width line.
