PA3783 Parker Vacumatic Junior. (Soft Medium)

Date: c1940s

Size: Capped - 135mm; posted - 154mm.

A very pretty glossy jet black Vacumatic Junior from the mid- to late-1940s.  This pen is in beautiful condition with no damage noted.   This is a quite late, probably wartime, Vacumatic Junior.   The cap top jewel holds on the Parker gold filled split-arrow style pocket clip.   Near the cap lip are two narrow gold filled cap bands.  The barrel blind cap unscrews easily to reveal the clear amber vacumatic plunger.  The action of the plunger is smooth and springy.  There is a very clear imprint to the side of the barrel, though, unusually, there is no date code evident. The nib is the original 14 carat gold Parker Vacumatic with the arrow engraving.  It is in a medium point.

I have fully serviced this pen.  It fills nicely with about 5 or 6 pushes of the filling plunger.  The nib is very smooth and writes with an excellent wet and medium width line. The nib also has a little softness to it and it will even give you some understated line width variation as you write.  

A very good writer.
