Parker Full Metal Cover Need Hlp With Idenity

[Tom Heath]

Some where along the way I bought this neat Parker resembles a 51 except full cover

The nib is only partially covered It is an aerometric convertor long and tapered smooth alloy finish

 

The barrel is 18K solid gold marked 750 , On Cap only PARKER appears..

 

Nib does not compare to a VP or 75, it is a slip cap model there is a place or personalization on the cap

 

Your thoughts are appreciated I see no foreign markings.

Beautiful pen! Also beside the section and nib assembly all the parts are identic to the ones used on the Parker 61

Great pen (I have two) but be carefull not to put too much pressure on the nib as they are prone to lifting. Never happened to me but I let the pen do the work.

Quote:

"The Parker "65" with time showed two design flaws. One was in connection with the small, gripping section lip that covered the top of the nib. The relative flexibility of the open nib eventually created a separation between the nib and lip, rendering an ink flow problem. Also the space between the ink connector and gripping section had to be sealed with wax to prevent leaking. This wax wasn't always re-applied when the pens were eventually cleaned, which made them leak in the crack. Also an un-experienced repairer that tried to remove the nib without using the special tool (the connector is un-screwed from the inside of the gripping section) would inevitable crack the section lip. Hence many Parker "65s" has this lip missing or cracked."
