Filling System Standard plastic plunger Vacumatic filling system. We've restored it with a new diaphragm and it's working very well. The plastic plunger probably isn't original.

Nib FINE Parker gold nib. It's smooth and somewhat firm with nice tipping material. We are calling this pen a fine, but it is on the narrow side. The pen has a 1941 date code of a 1 with one dot.
Condition Excellent condition. There are some scratches and marks on the barrel near the section and blind cap. The barrel transparency is very strong and the barrel imprint is clear. The trim has held up well with some brassing on the edges of the clip. There are no cracks, dents, or personalization to be found on this pen. It has been fully restored and it's working very well.
