Condition:
Very nice condition, the barrel and cap colors are rich and vibrant with multiple hues of green and gold. The pen has no cracks or personalization. The cap, barrel and blind cap have some micro surface scratches. The tapered Parker clip and the "barley" cap band are in lovely condition, the clip is firm and the cap jewel is clean with no chips.

The pen has been throughly cleaned, a new diaphragm has been installed, the section threads properly sealed, the wartime filler works well and the pen fills nicely - this pen is ready for ink.
