Parker Vacumatic Oversize

[usk15]

I have a Parker Vacumatic Oversize black, made in Canada 1935, good transparency window, measure 13.5cm long capped, and good weight. The pen was restored; diaphragm changed, and now has a “Reden's” 18ct gold nib in 2 tones which writes with a medium/broad line very wet. The pen has scratches, some spot/stains from ink, the back jewel and tassie from the blind cap are very used. I would like to trade this pen for a Bexley Elegancia or Simplicity 2 with fine or XF nib. If someone is interested to buy the pen I will sell for £80 + S&H (5 UK/10 International)


For size comparison I’ve taken pictures with a Parker Vacumatic Major 1945, and this pen is not included in trade or sale.
All the pictures was taken in good light condition and edited for a good contrast.

Would you help me get rid of my Pelikan M250?

Thank you for you offer, but I'm really thinking of Bexley pen, Duofolk look alike. Also I find Pelikan M series lower than 800 being too small and light for my liking. I had a M400 EF and I sold it for this reason.

Also I can trade this pen for a Pilot/Namiki Capless with fine or medium nib.

The original nib right tines was broken, that's why was replaced with this nib.
Unfortunately, meanwhile the pen had pump broken and another leak problem, being currently at repair.
Even if will be repair I will not trade it any more, sorry.
