HELP, please... I recently picked up a Parker 61 (double jewel) Flighter on the Bay.
It arrived today in very good condition.
When I dipped the nib in water there was absolutely NO Ink residue.
A quick look at the open end of the capillary filler showed only (clean, unblemished) white color.
Question 1: Did I receive a P61 with a totally unused capillary filler?
(I don't want to immerse it in anything yet if it is brand new/unused as I may want to sell it.
Question 2: How do I tell if the nib is gold without pulling it apart? It does appear "gold" colored.
Thanks for any help.
