AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Complete set of Parker 51 fountain pen and ballpoint – a jewel of the history of writing
A legendary model that revolutionized the world of writing since its launch in 1941. Presented in its original velvet gray and beige satin box, signed Parker.
The two pens, with bodies in deep black resin, feature gold trim on the caps and clips, typical of the early series of this iconic model. Their condition is remarkable: the resin is smooth, with no scratches or signs of major wear, while the gilding still shines. Both pens work perfectly. The ballpoint is in working order and the fountain pen is empty, so it requires an ink refill.
The case, made of rigid plastic with a velvet interior, offers optimal protection and bears witness to the care given to these objects for decades. The Parker logo engraved on the caps and the case confirms the authenticity of this set, which combines timeless elegance with historical heritage.
Made in USA is clearly engraved on both pens as well as the 12 K gold-plated engraving on the fountain pen.
The Model 51 is well recognized but also clearly written on the original refills of both pens.
