This is an unwrapped Parker 51 Pen, 1/8th 14k Gold Filled. Although not shown, I do have the outer wrapper for the pen which was opened; the instructions for filling the pen are on this. I know that some Parker pens are partly identified by the plunger instructions. These instructions read" Press and release plunger briskly NINE times. Pause at top of each stroke. I will send this outer instruction wrapper with the pen. Before selling, I did need to make sure the pen was in fact brand new and never used so I did pull the pen from the cello to inspect it. I found no signs to indicate that the pen had ever been outside of this cello wrapper. Photos were taken after placing pen back in cello. The only flaw appears to be a very minor indentation in the bdy of the cap; I've provided a photo that shows this clearly. To anyone's eye, the diamond on the pen is solid black. This was a mystery at first until I took the photos for the auction. For whatever reason, the diamond is blue in the photos as it should be, but black to the eye. The pencil was discovered with the pen in the same type of cello wrapper and with the same tip style on the cap (no diamond however). I could not find any information about a matching pencil for the parker 51. To the best that I can read though, the cap on the pencil reads 1/10 18k Gold Filled. It actually appears to read 1/10 16k Gold Filled but I have never heard of anything being made with 16k. T also appears to be a very small nick on the decorative end tip of the pencil. I did not remove the pencil from it's cello but I'm sure it is in the exact condition as the pen, taking into account that the materials used to manufacture appear to be slightly differant (i.e. note the difference in the clips, the pencil's is tarnished, the pen's is not). By all accounts, I believe the pen and pencil either came as a set or was purchased at the same time from the same location. The last 5 photos are of the mechanical pencil; all before are the pen. The pencil is actually 1/10th 16k gold filled and not 1/10th 18k gold filled as first suggested in the original description.
