This is a Parker 61 First Edition Deluxe in Gray Charcoal c. 1958. It’s 5 7/16 inches long. The cap is satin lustraloy (stainless steel) and the barrel and section are gray charcoal plastic. The cap has a First Edition shield riveted to the lower face below the clip. The cap has PARKER stamped on the front lip and MADE IN U. S. A. on the back. The trim and section arrow emblem are gold filled. It is a capillary filler, filled by unscrewing the barrel and inserting the Teflon coated capillary filling unit base into ink for 30 seconds.
