Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in U.S.A. -- 1948 (The date code is a clear 8).

Filling System Vacumatic (piston/plunger) filling system. We've fully restored it in house with a new diaphragm, and it's working very well.

Nib FINE gold nib is in nice condition, with a nice amount of tipping, and feels smooth.
Condition Excellent condition. There are some scratches on the section near the nib, as seen in the photos below. There is also a slightly discolored (caused by capping?) line near the blind cap. The pen has no major scratches, and is smooth with low handwear. The cap jewel is pristine and the jewel is clear. The barrel imprint is worn and the only part that's fully legible is the date code. The pen is fully restored and working well.
