Description: Parker 51 fountain pen, dove grey, with custom silver cap (Argentinian?) decorated with gold-plated royal motifs, including a coat of arms, a lion head, a royal crest, and scrollery. Grey captop jewel, gold-plated Blue Diamond clip. Vacumatic filler with thin plastic plunger under blind endpiece (plunger is immobile, so pen needs a new ink sac and perhaps other servicing). 135mm. Excellent condition except for the stuck plunger; the extraordinary regal cap makes this pen a fascinating artifact of mysterious provenance.***********************
