what is this ?
I've never seen any reference to a cap of that type. The listing also says "It has a refill in it which reads Parker 51 . " I haven't asked the seller to clarify, but I think it's an aerometric type and the seller has the wrong date.
Lots of bids on it though.
Full Version: what is that crazy cap shown with the 51
Looks like some custom job. Whatever it is, it ain't original according to Parker51.com, that's for sure.
And that kind of ornate filigree looks just ridiculous next to the clean lines of a P51, sez me.

Its an "Aztec".
Some kind of artist specials made in the 50's (?).
IMHO they are KOU!

I saw that, and have a difficult time believing, although it is easy to verify, that the current bid on it is over $150.00 USD.
