PA3844 Parker 50 Falcon Flighter (Extra Fine)

PA3844 Parker 50 Falcon Flighter (Extra Fine)

Date: c1970s

Size: Capped - 131mm; posted - 142mm.

This is as rather lovely "flighter" model Parker 50 with brushed steel barrel and cap and gold plated trim.  It is in excellent condition - with a loupe I can make out a few very fine and wispy surface scratches, but nothing else.  The cap has a flat metal disc inset at the top , with a gold plated Parker arrow pocket clip.  The Falcon clips are unusual in that there is no detail in the "feathers".  That area is just left plain.   Around the cap lip is the clear imprint that shows this particular pen was made in USA, and there's no date code so it was probably made in the late 1970s.  The barrel unscrews to allow the fitting of a standard Parker ink cartridge.  If you prefer you can also use a standard Parker ink converter (not included). The section is frosted rather than brushed and has a satiny finish.  The nib is an extension of the section.  It is silver coloured and is in a fine point. 

I have fully serviced this pen.  It pen writes with a very smooth, wet and fine width line.
