Cleaned, lubricated, tested and most probably uninked. Dear future buyer, This piece is an extremely rare Thuya special edition Parker 180 Flighter, made in 1980s France and is ready for use, thank you! The pen is equipped with a "space-age" fine nib that was water flushed and tested for flow. The pen got to me without any use signs or ink remains, prompting me to say that it is most probably brand new or unused. So the first inking will be done by its new owner! The pen also comes with the original converter. You can take a look at the crosshatch pattern on the holder and notice its untouched condition! I invite you to read a little about it here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/341536-parker-180-classic-photo-thread/ and here: https://goodwriterspens.com/2014/01/23/the-parker-180-flighter/ Feel free to look online more, as the pen was covered in multiple design articles and magazines. It shows no scratches and the plating held up exceptionally over the years, with just one-two hard to notice spots. Additionally, as a vintage objects collector myself, I carefully checked and maintained it so you will get a fully functional and complete piece of art! The pen is technically and esthetically perfect, passing all tests! Please Note: - The pen is a cartridge type. - The box in the back is not included (i have just the lid and not the whole box) - The pen comes with the additional original converter! - The shipping will be done with the best protective packaging, insurance and a tracking code, as I would do for myself Thank you for your time and happy treasure hunting!
