I need help with info on a Parker Vacumatic

[Frederyck]

Hi all, I was gifted a Parker Vacumatic pen by my late grandfather, and I haven't looked at the pen in years. A couple of days ago I found it in a box and thought I'd try to find some information about it. My google-fu stumped me, though, which is why I'm turning to all you experts here! I have created a Google photos album with pictures of the pen, the nib and so on.

From what I've found: It's a Canadian made pen, both the nib and the text on the outside mention Canada, so that's a dead give-away. The year-number on the pen seems to say "6", but I can't distinguish any dots, maybe. The number on the nib is definitely a "6" though with a dot to the right of the number, at least. I'm not sure if this is relevant, though? The colour of thepen is black-blue-purple or something. I'm not sure how to categorize it.

Was this pen made in 1946? My granddad would have been 25 at this time, so it fits with that timeline, as well as him having been recently discharged from the Swedish army (he served during most of the war guarding our borders). I have found guides to Parker pens that were made in the US, but none for Canadian made ones.

In a very related question - where could I get help getting the pen into working order? The pump doesn't work, which I suppose isn't surprising having been unused for the better part of 30-40 years. I have found one place in the UK, but they're not accepting any more work orders from the EU because of Brexit.
