Color Cedar blue body, steel cap. The texture on the cap is shiny, but it might have been brushed "Lustraloy" to begin with. Blue diamond gold filled clip (blue paint is good). Pearlescent cap jewel.
Nib Nice and smooth writing fine gold nib. There's lots of iridium.
Condition Very nice working example of the classic Parker 51 Vac. Signs of normal use and handwear, but otherwise in very good condition. Only a few light scratches on the body, and a good strong imprint. The cap has a few small shiny spots, and one very shallow dent.
We restored the filling system, so it should be good for 10 plus years.
