This is a brushed steel Parker 25 in very good condition.  There is a tiny bit of wear to the white infill on the pocket clip terminal tab, but that is the only damage I can see on this pen.  The top has an inset blue top button with a wide spring steel pocket clip with the blue Parker arrow tab at the bottom.  The pocket clip itself remains good and tight.  The barrel unscrews to allow the fitting of either a standard Parker ink cartridge or a standard Parker ink converter (not included).  The nib is also in steel and is also undamaged and in a medium point.  The box is made from a slightly textured dark brown plastic with silver embossing.  The pad inside is flocked and the lid is lined with satin.  Inside is the original instruction sheet, and the white card outer slipcase is also still present. 

A very good example of this iconic pen from my school years.

I have fully serviced this pen.  The pen writes very smoothly.  It lays down a lovely wet, consistent and generous medium width line.
