Filling System |
Vacumatic filler. We restored the filling system with a new sac, and it is in perfect working condition. The barrel is semi-transparent and you can watch the liquid level rise as you fill it. We'll guarantee the filling system for a year. |

Nib | Fine nib, with just a little flex. Not much if any tipping material remaining on the nib (see photos). marked "PARKER PEN MADE IN U.S.A." |
Condition |
Very nice condition, though there are some marks. On the cap there are three short deep gouges near the clip. There are a few tiny beginnings of cracks in the lip of the cap. The trim has a bit of wear on it: the dual cap bands only have hints of gold plating left, while the clip is still gold, but has a fair amount of brassing on it's edges - the same goes for the ring that attaches it to the cap. Despite their wear the barrel and cap are still quite shiny and nice, and it's working perfectly. |
