Condition:
Very nice condition with no cracks or personalization, the cap, barrel and blind cap have some light surface scratches. The barrel and cap colors are colorful and rich with multiple hues of green and gold. The barrel has good visibility, as shown, with ambering visible. The tapered Parker clip and the "barley" cap band are in lovely condition with just a hint of wear on the edges. The clip is firm. The barrel imprints are clearly readable, the Q2 "4" date code is clear. The pen has been throughly cleaned, a new diaphragm has been installed, the section threads properly sealed, the speedline filler works well and the pen fills nicely - this pen is ready for ink.
