Description from Nathaniel
The sky's the limit with this cloud-series pen called the Parker 61 Cumulus. Made in England, this is one of the more difficult-to-find 61s for collectors. The gold-filled cap and barrel are dent-free and looking fantastic. Light wear only. The black-plastic hood/section shows a fair amount of wear but no cracks or deep scratches. We flushed its capillary filler until it ran clear. However, residual ink tends to stick around for eternity. However, capillary fillers are best if you use one very safe, normal ink such as a Waterman or Parker blue or black ink in it for life. As it turns out, the Parker 61 Cumulus originally came with a later cartridge/converter system. Thus, someone replaced this one with an earlier capillary system. You will write a nice, smooth fine line with its 14k gold nib. It writes a little on the dry and extra-fine side of fine. 13.3cm capped.
