The Parker 21 Mk.1 is markedly different from later versions in that it has a larger opening in the hood exposing a distinctive rounded, almost bulbous feed and has an 'inverted ridge' clip, this was changed shortly after production started in 1948. It is now quite a rare pen.
This is a fine example, in outatanding condition throughout. Finished in Black, the pen has been fully serviced annd tested.
The 'Octanium' nib performs very well, delivering a smooth, medium to fine line. It would suit someone with a small 'hand' and be useful for detailed work.
The Parker 21 is an extremely good choice as an unusual and dependable every day writer and is often favoured rather than the much more expensive Parker 51 to which it bears a close, if superficial resemblance. It is an excellent pen in its own right and a Mk.1 in this condition is hard to find.
