The Parker 61 was introduced in the early sixties and utilised the revolutionary new capillary filling system. The capillary system was not a great success and was replaced later in the decade with the aerometric system borrowed from the Duofold and 51 range. These later pens could be used with standard Parker Cartridges or the converter could be fitted to enable the pen to be filled from an ink bottle.
This is one of the later models and is fitted with the far better cartridge / converter fillers. As standard the pen takes cartridges but converters are readily available if preferred.
This Parker 61 is finished in Turquoise with a rolled gold cap. The pen is in excellent condition although there are two very small dings on the cap.
The original gold filled arrow on the hood is still in position and the original chalk marks are still present on the barrel.
The pen is fitted with a medium nib and writes superbly with a smooth line. The filling system has been fully serviced and the pen is ready to write.
The pen comes in its original hard case and would make an excellent gift.
