Vtg Parker Vacumatic Major Silver Pearl Fountain Pen 14K Gold Nib Blue Diamond For Sale

This is a beautiful vintage Parker Vacumatic fountain pen in the classic Silver Pearl striped finish — and this is the real thing, right down to its Parker 14K gold nib and Blue Diamond clip.The laminated Silver Pearl body creates Parker\'s distinctive alternating dark and silvery horizontal stripes. The pen also features the desirable Blue Diamond clip, black cap jewel, wide engraved chevron-pattern cap band, black section, and Parker-marked 14K gold nib.The barrel retains its original Parker Vacumatic / Made in U.S.A. imprint, although it has become quite faint with age. A date code may also be present, but it is too faint for me to read confidently, so I am not assigning a specific production year.Details:
