Parker 51 Classic in black, Steel cap - Medium nib - Chalk marks and boxed

This is a vintage Parker 51 Classic with steel cap in black and is fitted with a medium 14k gold nib which produces a writing line of around 0.6mm It's showing no signs of having been used, and still has the original factory chalk marking on the barrel. The cap retains its original factory frosting with only light storage marks visible with a magnifying glass. The imprints on the barrel are very crisp. In terms of dating, the cap has early cage clutch and the clearly visible smooth lip to the edge of the cap, so we date this to around the mid 1950s This is an aerometric Parker 51. The pen fills from an ink bottle and does not take cartridges.
