As with many  Parker Specials which may be missing one of the characteristics that make it a Special, this pen too, is not pure. The cap is steel, but it is brushed rather than the bright shiny finish on most specials. It does have the requisite black cap jewel and it has an OCTANIUM rather than a gold nib. The closer though is the aerometric filler which is stamped SPECIAL along with the filling instructions. Plastic and steel are both in good shape, though the barrel has no imprint under cap giving me a later estimate for the date.  Nib is a fine firm Octanium in perfect shape and the filler readily takes up ink.  Good pen!
