complete with the box. With these rolled silver cap pens condition of the cap is everything. Rolled silver is more prone to pitting than rolled gold. This cap is in fine condition as is the rest of the pen. This pen is an early version of the rolled silver cap with the “Parker “imprint at the front and “R Silver” on the back.
(Later models had “Made in England” added below the R Silver imprint.)
The 14k medium nib is a very smooth writer and the reliable aerometric filler works well.

In the words of David & Mark Shepherd’s “Parker 51”:
“Silver Pens
Unique to England was the production of a range of rolled silver pens, featuring a pattern of converging vertical lines and plain bands, identical to those found on gold insignia models. As a result of their comparatively limited, these are much rarer than examples in rolled gold and are extremely valuable. …… This tends to be the most sought after style of cap amongst English collectors.” Rolled silver, like rolled gold, is a laminate layer of silver rolled out over the steel cap, a much thicker than electroplating and hence able to be engraved.
