It has a showroom finish and a clear 'Parker Made in England' imprint, this is repeated on the pen holder.  The original 'pli-glass' ink sac has maintained transparency, usually a good sign of lttle, careful use. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pen fills well and the 14 Ct. Gold nib writes with a smooth, medium line with the pleasing 'soft' feel assciated with Parker 51 nibs.  The extra long pen is very well balanced and comfortable in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough it is, of course, easy to fit a 51 cap to make the pen portable, this is designed as a 'stay at home' pen.  The ultimate 'writer's set', the 51 would make an ideal gift for someone who uses a pen on a daily basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collectablepens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58805125874048,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/4239\/files\/P1200518.jpg?v=1787985953","url":"https:\/\/collectablepens.co.uk\/products\/parker-51-whitefriars-ruby-red-desk-set","provider":"Collectablepens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
