Hi,
I am sad to part with this pen, but I am not using it as much as I'd like to, and want to pass it on to someone who would enjoy it more frequently.
Parker Vacumatic Standard, Grey Pearl; reduced to SOLD shipped CONUS
This is an early 1st Generation Vacumatic (rarer), with a USA//Parker nib, a shorter length, different blind cap, wider-finned feed and opaque barrel. All parts are correct except for the black cap jewel. Filler works very well, fills to over 2mls. Imprint is gone, but a beautifully subtle cursive signature remains on the barrel: "Milton F. Simon." There is some plating loss to the cap rings, some pitting on the top tassie, and polished wear to the cap-it is only slightly above user grade in this respect. The nib, however, is perfect--no plating loss whatsoever. Relatively smooth XF nail of a nib, great for margins etc.
Thanks!162241622516222
