Reference / Edition: “51” Custom Aerometric (Teal Blue), fluted gold-filled cap stamped «PARKER».
Length: 13.8 cm.
Diameter: 1.16 cm.
Nib: F.
Period: 1950s–1960s (Aerometric version, produced approx. 1948–1969).
Materials: Teal blue resin/lucite body and nib hood; outer cap gold-plated with fine vertical fluting and a feather-like ribbed crown; arrow clip without Blue Diamond; double light-colored metal ring at the junction between the nib hood and barrel; hidden (hooded) gold nib with visible tip; Aerometric filling system, with a smooth barrel, no rear blind cap, and a factory imprint on the barrel that is now practically illegible.
Condition: In good overall condition for its age. The teal blue body retains an intense, even shine, with no dents, cracks, or material loss; the rear end is intact, with only superficial micro-scratches visible in reflected light. The gold-colored cap retains a good overall shine, with fine scratches across the surface, a more noticeable mark near the clip, and areas of somewhat dull plating along the lower edge, where the «PARKER» imprint is partially worn away; small dark spots are visible along that same edge. The clip remains firm and shiny, and the metal rings show slight signs of handling. The nib tip is straight and undamaged. The filling system’s operation cannot be determined from the photos.
Accessories: Pen only; no box or papers are visible in the photos.
