Description.

This is a very nice example of the Parker Duofold Vacumatic, known by collectors as the "Duovac". It was made in the USA and is date coded for 1946. The Duovac is a very attractive pen, it has the standard Vac colour of Golden Pearl interspersed with black vertical stripes. This is the later version of the Duovac with the plastic pump filler. It is also the Blue Diamond model, which carried a lifetime warranty.

The pen is in very good condition throughout with minor marks and scratches commensurate with use. There are some light bite marks on the blind cap. The gold plating is in good condition with some wear on the edges. The imprint on the barrel is clear and legible.

The diaphragm has been replaced and the pen is in full working order.

The 14ct gold nib writes smoothly with a lovely Fine Line.

Condition: Grade A
