Color Dove gray body, Lustraloy cap. Blue diamond gold filled clip (blue paint is good). Pearlescent cap jewel.
Nib Nice and smooth writing medium gold nib. There's lots of iridium.
Condition Excellent classic Parker 51 Vac. There are no dents or dings on the cap. There is a small spot of discoloration on the jewel. There are small bits of brassing on the clip ring and the clip arrow. There is some handwear on the cap and barrel and some small scratches on the barrel. There is faint blue mottling on the plastic close to the nib and feed (we sometimes see staining of the plastic with the Dove Gray color plastic). There is no imprint or date code visible. We restored the filling system so it should be good for years.
