There's a little something special about this Parker 51 from 1946. Click the headline for a close-up if it doesn't jump out at you. Its "lustraloy" cap has a "stacked coins" cap band! These aren't impossible to find, but they are uncommon. We restored this vintage pen with a new diaphragm. We find it fills a beat more slowly than other 51 Vac-fillers. It is just a quirk of this pen. You will write a nice extra-fine line with its 14k gold nib. There is minimal feedback with a light tough. The harder you write the more feedback you feel...which goes without saying for most all pens. There is a little wear on the cap and barrel, but there are no dents, deep scratches or cracks. Some of its original enamel is still in the clip's diamond. 13.7cm capped.
