Description from the seller

Article: FOUNTAIN PEN PARKER "51" — black body with gold-plated cap featuring vertical lines and arrow clip
Reference / Edition: "51" Custom Aerometric (black body), cap gold filled striated with imprint «PARKER»
Length: 13,7 cm
Diameter: 1,1 cm
Nib: F
Period: 50s – 60s (Aerometric version, produced approx. 1948-1969)
Materials: Body and nib cap in black resin/lucite, exterior cap in metal gold-plated with vertical striation and crown with feather-like ribbing, arrow clip without Blue Diamond, metal retaining ring between cap and barrel; hooded nib in gold with visible tip; Aerometric filling system (smooth barrel without rear blind cap, with imprint «USA» on the barrel).
Condition: Good overall state of conservation for its age. The black body retains a bright, even shine, with no dents, cracks or material loss; only micro-scratches appreciable at backlight and intact rear end. The gold plating of the cap remains bright on almost all of its surface, with fine signs of use on the striation and a wear area with dark spots on the lower edge, next to the imprint «PARKER», which remains partially legible; the retaining ring also shows light handling marks. Nib tip straight and without deformations. The filling mechanism operation is not evident in the photos.
Complements: Only the loose piece; no box or papers visible in the photos.
