What colour is this 51?

[PenSki]

Thought it might be Yellowstone/Mustard, initially, but find nothing comparable online.

Photography can throw things off somewhat, but what are the chances that there'd not be a single pic that's even close?

Could it be a rouge colour?

It isn't even close to the Mustard here:

somewhat similar to this, though not terribly close:

I think it's not a Parker but a Wing Sung 601(?), which is made to look like a 51.  There's no arrow clip, and the cap says "Made in China."

Oh my goodness you're right, Checklist.

Hahaha!  🤣

  MADE IN CHINA  

imagine my embarrassment.

Just checked the listing and it says, "PARKER 51 style, splendid fountain pen".

No one to blame but myself.

 

A kind of gold fever must have struck when I saw it on eBay - for $195 US!

I was so obsessed with the colour I didn't even notice anything else. 

I spent an hour trying to colour-match, comparing hues, values, and saturation with photos of "other" 51's, and showing others, thinking maybe they could see a connection to normal 51 colours (they didn't, and laughed at my suggestion it might be a Mustard 51).

 

Glad to have had a laugh today, even if at myself.

I’ve been watching this one also just because I like the unique color, but that price is way too high for a Chines knock off, in my opinion.
