Product Description

Product Name Parker Vacumatic Junior, the difference between a Major and a Junior is the trim and the nib, otherwise they are the same size.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA -- 1944 (the date code on the barrel is a clear 4 with no dots.) The nib has a 1947 date code, so it's a replacement.
Length 5-1/8.
Filling System Vacumatic plunger filling system has been restored here at Peyton Street Pens and is working well. This has the late plastic plunger system.
Color Azure Pearl body and cap with gold plated trim. It has alternating blue-gray pearl bands and semi-transparent amber bands. The cap has a black cap jewel and a pair of narrow cap bands.
Nib FINE CURSIVE ITALIC 14k nib. It is smooth and springy with nice tipping material. It was ground in house for line variation. Please see the writing sample below. The nib would originally have been single tone. It has a date code of 7 with two dots.
Condition Excellent condition. The imprint on the barrel is clear and the barrel has very good transparency. There are a few bite marks on the blind cap and a few similar marks on the bottom of the cap. No cracks, chips, dents, or major scratches. There is some plating wear on the trim.
