Product Description
Type | Fountain pen |
Product Name | Parker Vacumatic "Long" Major. (The length is correct, the filling system is correct, but we are used to seeing these with Blue Diamond clips and this has a simple split arrow clip.) |
Manufacturer and Year | Parker USA - 1942 (The imprint on the barrel is for 1942 with two dots, but the nib date is 1946 so it's probably a later replacement.) |
Length | 5-5/16" inches (the regular Major is only a little over 5"). |
Filling System |
Vacumatic plastic plunger filler is in working condition. We restored the filling system and it works quite well. |
Color | Emerald Pearl with gold filled trim-- very good visibility thru the body. Black jewel. The cap band is medium wide, with a chevrons design. |
Nib | Medium and super smooth. Lots of tipping material in evidence. The nib looks like it's barely been used. |
Condition
|
Excellent restored condition, with signs of normal to light use. The gold filled trim is excellent with no brassing. The tassie and jewel are also excellent. Personalized P.J. FITZGERALD on the barrel. |
