Parker Presidential 18k identification

[Van Meegeren]

Hi, Am an art collector who goes through a large amount of auctions. Recently picked this Parker Pen up due to mispricing and am having trouble identifying which model it is, i presume it is a 51 but am still unsure.

 

The pen is in a white cardboard box which on the short side of it has "Presidential Single" printed in gold letters. Classic red case inside. Pen is marked 0.750, made in England in 1973, nib is 0.585.

 

Have looked through the models listed on Parkerpens.net and am struggling to match a model with the correct nib design and delivery system. Any help towards identifying the precise model is greatly appreciated.

 

If any more photographs are needed, list requirements and i shall deliver them promptly. 

 

Many thanks.

Not a 51 for sure.  Try looking up a Parker 65, the nib and pen shape makes me believe that is the correct model. Beautiful find! Would have loved to run up on that pen at a bargain price!

Parker 65.  Take a look at Tony Fischier's Parker site.  You'll find a picture of the pen and more.

Agree 100%. 

 

What a beautiful find!

 

You have a Parker 65 Presidential, made in Newhaven. A rare bird - I doubt that many of these will have been produced, especially 18K.

 

The case appears also to be correct. I have an English Parker 61 Presidential hallmarked 1975 with an identical box.
