SOLD: 1945 Silver Pearl Parker Vacumatic Super Flex

For sale is a 1945 Silver Pearl Vacumatic. There are a few inconsistencies with this pen. First, the original nib was badly damaged when I received it and has been swapped out for a Parker VS nib with lots of flex. Secondly, I don’t know of any Vacs after 1942 that continued to use the jeweled blind cap, especially as late as 1945. The blind cap does match the rest of the pen very well, both in color and fit. The length of the pen when capped measures 131mm, which  puts it right between the Major and Long Major. This pen has been completely restored: new diaphragm, nib, feed, and breather tube thoroughly cleaned, and the entire pen has been polished to a great shine. The pen does have a personalization imprint of “W. CAMPS” that blends in fairly well. Both the clip and blind cap have some wear to the plating around the tassies. The pen feels great in the hand and the nib is a joy to use. $130 SOLD
