Whilst wandering around a local market with my wife I found these on a furniture stall

This was the first pen I picked from the box and I just kept it in my hand even without its nob it felt special

I saw the blue diamond on the arrow clip and did not look closer as I now need to remove my spectacles to see smaller details it was cheap so I bought both

Wilson! not what I was expecting so not quite a pair but I think the vac is worth the cost of both

Hi,

I can refer you to a thread next door at Fountain Pen Board, for more discussion of the Wilson Parker knock-offs from India.

I have decided to pass the Wilson on to a Wilson collector for what I paid for it I just need to locate a nib for the Vacumatic and have it restored.
Thanks
