Hi All, I recently purchased a Parker '51' Black Aerometric Fountain Pen. The pen is in pristine condition. But I found no 'date code' or 'country name' mentioned either on the cap or on the pen. I asked the seller. But he had no clue. This pen has some features: 1. The cap imprint says '1/10 12 ct. R. Gold' 2. The 'vent hole' is located on the side of the barrel. 3. The sac protector has no country name engraved. I have a Midnight Blue USA Parker 51 in which 'Made in USA' is clearly engraved on the sac protector and cap. One interesting thing I noticed is that the Midnight Blue USA barrel does not fit in this Black 51, but the Black barrel does fit in the USA 51. This is really mind-boggling! Please check all the photos and let me help. Thank you

Yesterday I come across with an Antique shop not far away from me, then decide to get in to have a look. The where a lot of mixed stuff and I decide to ask if there are any vintage pens. A nice lady come forward with Parker 51 box, also with some Cross ballpens. I had a look on the 51 and I asked to dip the pen in a bit of water to test it, it has having some dried ink. After like 2 minutes the pen start scribbling something and I was happy. The price? £20.00 with the original box and instruction leaflet. I come home and flush the old dried ink (brownish to dark blue...) left for 5 min to dry and fill with a blue ink mixed of Parker Quink and Diamine Sargasso Sea, then realign the nib and now the pen is writing like a dream. I love the color, the size, the weight, is perfect balanced, a dream pen. Near to the ring has PARKER, Made in England .6 I cannot figure about the date based on the dot 6 imprint. Some pictures now:
