Im going to regret this... *sigh*

First "I want it" PM gets it.

Up for sale here today is a Parker "51" Cedar Blue Double Jewel in cherry condition.

This has been my user for about 3 months, and I need to sell this to fund a pen purchase.
Always first to start up, no skipping. Left uncapped for 10 min, still writes first time.

Restored and fills just like a vac should. Very reliable. All is clean inside and out. Gold wash in clutch is 99%. Near perfect.

One of the smoothest fine nibs on any pen. Very stiff; good for offices and fast notes. About a 6.5/10 for wetness.

The pen has a Ralph Prather Custom all metal filler Vac unit. No parts to break etc. This was bought directly from Ralph.

It makes the pen uncapped have perfect balance

The Jewels are also aluminum customs done by Mr Prather. Perfect size, perfect fit, perfect finish. The only minor imperfection is the tassie is slightly brassed. This shouldn't be a problem for a user.

I am not trying to pass this off as a First Year true Smooth Sterling. The cap was originally an ugly lined sterling that had so many dents i couldnt even count.

I decided to try to smooth it down, and I wasnt expecting it to be this good!

The clip is hiding a rather large dent about 1 cm across. You cannot see the ding unless you removed, or moved the clip.

The cap is not 100% ding free. Other than the larger one mentioned above, it has some shallow spots (not sharp dents) but not any that are noticible.



Overall, Wow! What a pen. A DJ 51 that will pop every time you use it (I know i felt warm and fuzzy everytime I uncapped it).
