The Parker 41, was introduced in 1956 and replaced in the same year by the Parker 21 Super, although a 'debutante' version was made until 1958. With a production run of only about a year, the original 41 is now a rare pen.
This example, finished in classic black, is in excellent condition, after being fully serviced and tested.
It has a lustralloy cap which is imprinted 'Parker 41 Made in U.S.A.' The cap stud, which is pearl coloured on the '51', is black on the '41'. The cap is in good, ding free condition.
The filling system utilises a 'U' type squeeze bar and a breather tube, a modification of the 'Aerometric' filler found on the 51. The nib is made from 'Octanium', an eight metal alloy, it has an oblique profile that writes well and provides some line width variation.
This Parker 41 meets the criteria for a highly collectable pen, having age, condition, and rarity.
