Color Black barrel with a stainless steel "lustraloy" cap, chrome plated arrow clip and a pearlescent cap jewel.
Nib BROAD RIGHT OBLIQUE 14k gold nib is in great condition and still has tipping material. It feels very smooth on paper. See the writing sample below. We believe this is a factory oblilque nib, and it is quite uncommon.
Condition Excellent condition. There are micro scratches on the barrel and some lesser wear in the cap. The trim has almost no wear and looks great. There is a shiny spot underneath the end of the clip from rubbing against the cap and some tarnish-like black markings at the top of the clip to the sides. No cracks, bite marks, or dents. The imprint is legible but does not say "Parker "51" on it.
