Product Description
Type Aerometric filling fountain pen, working well.
Product Name Parker 51 Special.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in U.S.A. -- 1950s (but there is no date code, which is correct for a pen after 1951)
Length 5-5/16 inches long.
Filling System "Special" Aerometric squeeze filling system. It has a "hoop" design rather than a full end-to-end metal sleeve. We've cleaned and tested it, it's working well. We guarantee the filling system for a year from the date of purchase.
Color Black body with a shiny stainless steel cap with an arrow clip, chrome plated trim, and black cap jewel as is common on Specials.
Nib FINE ARCHITECT gold nib is smooth and firm. We did the nib grind in-house, see our writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition. The barrel and section have handwear and light scratching. The section has some long thin scratch lines from capping. The cap and clip look really good, with only small scattered blemishes. The cap jewel looks great. No cracks, chips, dings, dents, or personalization. The Parker imprint is clear.
