Product Description
Type Fountain Pen
Product Name Parker 61, Mark II. We think of the US Mark II as being the capillary-fill model with the wider clutch ring, but it could be they numbered them differently in Argentina ... these have aerometric filling systems, which wasn't a version of the pen we see in the USA, where the capillary filling system was replaced by a cartridge/converter filling pen and is considered the Mark III.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, Argentina -- 1959-62
Length 5-7/16"
Filling System Fixed aerometric (squeeze) filing system. Tested and working well.
Color Velvety, shiny black barrel and section. Gold cap with a repeating pattern of six lines and with a space between each group. Pearlized jewels on either end of the fountain pen.
Nib Fine Octanium hooded nib.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a velvety black, shiny pen with a beautiful gold cap with a lined pattern. The barrel and section have light to moderate scratching. There's a partial chalk mark on the barrel of an F in a circle. The gold plated band and the clutch ring both look great. The barrel end jewel is perfect. The cap has light scratching. The arrow clip and clip ring have plating wear and a few scattered dots of pitting. The top pearlescent cap jewel has some surface scratches, but otherwise looks great. The cap imprint, "Parker 61 MK II, Industria Argentina" is clear.
