The Parker 51 Aerometric filler was introduced in 1948 and continued into the 1970s, this fine example, in Teal, was made, in England in 1955.
The pen has been fully serviced and tested. It has a first class finish and a just visible imprint showing that the pen was made in the second quarter of 1955.
The 14Ct. Gold nib writes with a super smooth line, very much on the broad side of medium. It has a pleasing 'soft' feel and is a very easy writer.
The Parker 51 is often referred to as the best pen that Parker ever made, it is certainly the most successful pen by any manufacturer and carries a great deal of prestige.
