A Sumgaish 51S Score?

[mitto]

Just finished cleaning a pair of 51s (a Vac and and an aero) . Found both in a local vintage store on Friday. The asking price was Rs.2000.00 ($20.00). However, after a bit of negotiating snagged both for Rs.1600.00 ($16.00). The pens cleaned really well. The vac is dated .5 while I couldn't read a date code on the aero. I always get wash away the blue enamel on the blue diamond in the cleaning process. Could it be repainted?

btw the current rate of Indian Rupees, asking price should be $31 and final buy price is $24. from which vintage store i.e. location of the store you got it.

amarjit jee, see my flag. I am in Islamabad and, hence, I am talking about Pak Rupees. The current exchange rate is Rs.104.50 for $1. So Rs.1600.00 comes to $15.32. But I quoted the round figure of $16.00. Here is today's exchange rate:

Testors Model paint #110 blue is the perfect match. Apply it with a toothpick. If you google Parker 51 clip paint restoration you can read about the process.

 

Testors is the type of model paint used for model cars, etc.

Thank you, mmg122. I will do the repainting as advised.
