Nib MEDIUD open nib is marked Parker Duofold 14k Pen N. We believe that the N indicates that the nib was made in Newhaven, England.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a shiny dark brown pen that has decent color consistency. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip as well as from posting as well as moderate wear. The cap has moderate scratching. The cap band has a thin layer of plating wear and a bit of pitting along part of the bottom edge. The clip has plating wear along the edges and light scratching. The clip ring has plating wear along the ridged edges but it otherwise looks nice. The top black jewel has a few scratches and the end jewel has one deep scratch. The imprints are clear.
