What nib size this Parker 51 is?

Is it Fine? Extra fine? Or rather a finer Medium? 

A British 50s pen. 

Thank you.

Seeking a Parker Duofold Centennial cap top medallion/cover/decal.
My Mosaic Black Centennial MK2 lost it (used to have silver color decal).

Preferably MK2. MK3 or MK1 is also OK as long as it fits.  
Preferably EU.

Seeing an actual writing sample might help.  Although from the photo I'm wondering if it's an oblique nib, due to the slant of the tipping.

And last fall I had two vintage 51 Vacs repaired -- both, in theory, had F nibs, but the Cordovan Brown one and the India Black one did NOT write the same: the black one is a lot wetter a writer than the brown one, as I recall.

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Looks like a Fine to me, not sure that Parker made an Oblique Fine, but I take Ruth's point.

Whatever size the nib is, the pen looks like it needs a good flush though.    Just sayin'😉
