I was asked to look at a friend's small collection and see what I could repair, there was a Skyline, Parker 21, and a few modern pens that needed a soak and this...

 

"granny's old pen".  It's out of my range of knowledge but what I can tell is eyedropper, intact Lucky Curve feed, two deep chased gold bands, flexy stub nib, "6" in a circle at the end of the barrel, good color and chasing.  Maybe a "6L"?

 

I told her to keep it out of the light and the section may need a soak to clean it out.  Didn't take it with me. I asked if she had ever written with it, "no". So we dipped it, wrote with it, rinsed  and put it away to dry.

 

I said she needs to baby it because it's a very old and relatively valuable pen, was I pretty accurate?  Apologies for the lousy photos.

Most accurate. You can find it in Parker pens under eye droppers:  http://parkerpens.net/luckycurve.html
