I believe this would have matched a Vacumatic Filling Parker “51” Fountain Pen from this era, however this semi-transparent dark green doesn’t seem to match any of the standard colours, I haven’t seen this colour on any similar pencils, or any non sterling ones, or any fountain pens.Seems quite a rare colour. Sort of looks dark amber in the photos, in person to me it looks khaki.
Works fine, shows the usual signs of moderate use, still overallvery good condition.
