I'm selling this nice Parker 61(not 65) capillary filler pen.

For those unfamiliar with the capillary filler, this was one of Parker's attempts at making an "easy" and "ink free" filler. When the pen body is unscrewed, a teflon-coated metal tube is exposed. Inside the metal tube is a high surface area mylar-type material(rolled up) that, when placed in a bottle of ink, will absorb ink that's then doled out over the course of a fill. Once removed, the teflon-coated filelr just wipes off.

These fillers are notoriously finicky and difficult to clean, but this one works perfectly. The prospective user is advised to use only gentle, easy to clean inks(like washable blues), and most importantly NEVER let ink dry in the pen. Reviving a clogged one is an only moderately successful affair that can take days.

I have shown 2/3 of a page of writing with this one, showing that the filler works and distributes ink well.

The nib is 14K and I'd call it a modern XF. Parker would have probably sold it as an F, MAYBE an XF, but I'd say it's skinnier than the EF Montblanc 149 I write with every day-it's probably somewhere between a German EF and and Japanese EF. The nib is smooth.

This pen, unfortunately, I have to grade as a D condition pen due to an engraving on the barrel. Otherwise, I'd call this a solid B condition-the barrel is really bright, clean and smooth, and the cap has some scratches but nothing dramatic.
