Length: 13.6 cm.
Diameter: 1.15 cm.
Nib: EF.
Period: 1950s–1960s (Aerometric version, produced approx. 1948–1969).
Materials: Burgundy resin/lucite barrel and nib hood, outer cap in gold-plated metal (gold filled) with vertical fluting and a crown with feather-like ribbing, arrow clip without Blue Diamond, silver-tone metal retaining ring between the hood and barrel; hooded nib with visible tip; Aerometric filling system (smooth barrel, without a rear blind cap).
Condition: Good overall condition for its age. The burgundy barrel retains a deep, even shine, with no dents, cracks, or material loss; the rear end is intact, with only superficial micro-scratches visible in reflected light. The cap's gold plating remains bright across the entire surface, with fine signs of use on the fluting, an isolated dark spot near the clip, and the «PARKER» imprint fully legible along the lower edge. The clip is firm and the nib tip is straight, with no deformation. The filling system's operation cannot be assessed from the photos.
