This unbelievably cool pen is a Parker Vacumatic. Being the Debutante model, It requires a special diaphragm size to restore, and it has the coveted double "jewel".
The material is called Shadow Wave, and it's like Raden meets "The Matrix" with shimmering vertical (not horizontal rings like the larger Vacumatics) lines that dances in the light. The year code on the barrel is 8. which makes it the third quarter of 1938.
The nib is a nice Fine that is on the wet side, on some papers the lines it produces looks like Medium. A consistent writer and an absolute delight to sketch with. Misaligned, scratchy when it came, now smooth because I worked on it.
Condition: Excellent. There is a name engraved JANE ELLEN O'CONNOR. Maybe this was a gift form the future from Sarah O'Connor's (think TERMINATOR) long lost niece. Capped length: 4-1/2 inches.
Price: $165
