Manufacturer and Year Parker, Canada -- 1939 (The date code is a 9 with two dots. The Speedline filling system was introduced in 1937 and replaced the shorter "lockdown" mechanism).

Filling System The filling system has been restored by us with a new diaphragm, and it has been tested. This is the aluminum speedline version.
Color Golden Pearl striated body with brown bands alternating with semi-transparent amber-tinged bands. It has matching golden pearl striped jewels on the cap top and the blind cap. The cap has three thin gold bands.
Nib FINE 18k nib. The feed is marked with a "W", which we understand means "wide" and indicates that it was intended for broader nibs.
Condition Superior condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a beautifully and richly colored pen that is shiny and has excellent barrel transparency. The cap and barrel have light to moderate scratching. The cap bands have light scratching but no brassing or plating wear. The clip has some plating wear along the sides and around the open end. Both striped jewels look great. The imprints are clear.
