Description.

This is a very nice example of the desirable Parker Vacumatic Major, it has the Blue Diamond on the clip indicating a lifetime warranty, the Blue Diamond was only given to the top of the range pens. The pen was made in the USA and is date coded for 1946. 

This is the 3rd Generation Major model with the plastic pump filler. The first generation Vacumatics (1932 - 1937) were fitted with the metal lockdown filler and had a short blind cap, the seond generation (1937 - 1941) were fitted with the speedline filler with the longer blind cap, the third generation (1942 - 1948) were fitted with the plastic filler, again with a longer blind cap. The later Oversize models with the single cap band were rebranded as the Vacumatic Maxima.

The pen is in mint condition and has seen very little use. The transparency to the barrel is excellent and the vac diaphragm is clearly visible inside. The gold plating to the clip and cap ring is in perfect condition with no brassing or wear. The imprint is clear and legible.

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

The original 14ct gold nib writes smoothly with an Extra Fine line and the pen is supplied in its original box.

Condition: Grade A
