Product Name Parker Jack Knife Safety Pen Lucky Curve ... this is the oversize version
Manufacturer and Year Parker USA - 1920s

Nib FINE semi-flexible #7 Parker Lucky Curve nib. Nice line variation from fine to double-broad. See writing sample. NOTE: When we obtained this pen, the nib had a large crack in the base. This is a rare nib, so we felt it was worthwhile to have the crack repaired by Greg Minuskin, and have included two of his pictures of the welded nib for you to see.
Condition Excellent + condition. The barrel is nice and dark and evenly colored. There are some horizontal marks from capping. The line pattern is strong, with some smoothing out towards the end of the barrel. The cap is slightly faded to a deep brown color, and the line pattern is smoothed out just above the band near the clip. The knurling pattern on the top is strong. The clip has plating wear and brassing on the sides and ball end. Cap band looks good, only small areas of brassing along the edges. The imprints are only a little faded by handwear. The blind cap is faded to a medium-dark brown, and has a few marks in the knurled edge. No chips or cracks. It's quite nice looking, impressively preserved, and working very well.
