This is a lovely, Parker Vacumatic, first generation, laminated black fountain pen with lockdown filler. This pen was made in Canada around 1937 for export to the British Empire thus avoiding taxes which were levied on the pens made in the USA. The 14k gold arrow nib lays down a soft, fine line .This pen has been fully serviced, a new diaphragm fitted, tested with ink before being lightly hand polished . Aside from micro scratches this pen is gorgeous as it even retains its fabulous barrel clarity when held up to the light! Please be sure to look at all the images to enable you to decide on condition for yourself.
Please Note: This pen is a lovely, working example of a vintage pen. This pen may have micro scratches, dings or knocks but will write beautifully. To quote the french writer and philosopher Voltaire (1694-1778) " To hold a pen is to be at war". Regard any slight imperfections as the battle scars of the Victor.
