Condition: Good overall condition for its age. The burgundy body retains a strong, even shine, with no bumps, cracks, or material loss; only micro-scratches visible against light and intact rear end. The steel cap shows wear typical of use: areas of dulled shine, fine scratches distributed across the surface, a slightly more pronounced mark near the clip, and a small dark spot on the edge of the crown; the 'PARKER' imprint on the lower edge is partially erased. The clip remains firm and bright, and the retention rings show light handling marks. The nib tip is straight and free of deformation. The filling mechanism does not appear to be functioning in the photos. Accessories: Only the loose piece; no box or papers visible in the photos. The photographs form part of the description.
