Parker Jack Knife Safety Bakelite Red

[MarcoA64]

Just received this pen
Curious fact? It is shorter than the original 30s Kaweco Sport too :-)
Lenght capped: 78 mm
Cap lenght: 41 mm
It boast the lucky curve gizmo on the section that sits in the barrel

All the photos I found on line show it as a 'normal' size pen for the time, maybe I have bought the Baby model. Still, cool to know that this eye dropper is 100+ years old. The section is soaking in water at the moment.

ADDED 12th August

I've written with it a few pages, it definitely needs posting. It is a flexible nib, althoug I don't know how to write flexy :-)
The only drawback I find, at present, is that it is very scratchy, this induces a lot of feedback.
I've checked the tines and they were a bit misaligned, so I tried to reduce the gap, but do not want to push my luck too much and risk breaking the nib.
