PA3878 Parker 61 Custom Insignia Pencil

Date: c1970

Size: Length - 130mm.

This very attractive English Parker 61 Custom Insignia pencil has a 1/10 12 carat rolled gold cap and barrel and is in good condition.  Therre is the usualk surface wear consisting of very fine micro-scratches to the cap and barrel, but that does not mar its bright and shiny appearance.  This pencil also has some high-point plating wear to the pocket clip.  The cap has a gold plate top "jewel" which makes this quite a late model - late 1960s or very early 1970s - with a rolled gold Parker arrow pocket clip.  The body of the cap has the "converging lines" incised decoration.  The lip is imprinted "Parker" to the front and "MADE IN ENGLAND" to the rear.  The cap pulls off to reveal the stub of the original pink eraser in its little metal cup.  The Point is also rolled gold.  On the barrel is again the incised line decoration.  This is a propel-repel pencil and works very smoothly by twisting the cap.  I have fitted a fresh 0.9mm lead into the mechanism so it is all ready to go.

I have fully serviced this pencil.  It works perfectly.
