Limited Time Offer 1938 Parker Shadow Wave Vacumatic Green Pearl Double Jewel Fountain Pen Restored Top Reviewed [RAepE9I0]

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Restored 1938 Double Jewel Parker Vacumatic Shadow-Wave Fountain Pen in Emerald Green Pearl Celluloid. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and is now in great writing condition.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, section, and breather tube. Replaced the old diaphragm with a new, properly sized one. Hand polished the Gold Filled Feather Clip, Double Ring Cap Banding, Bottom Tassie, and 14K Split Arrow NIB. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrel, cap, and blind cap to bring back the vibrancy and protect the celluloid of the fountain pen.

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in beautiful and clean condition with no cracks, chips, or repairs. The cap has a Gold Filled Feather Arrow clip that displays a bright finish displaying no wear. The double-ring cap banding displays a wonderful bright finish, again with no wear. The top and bottom jewels are black and polished to a high shine. The jeweled blind cap securely fits. The barrel is stamped with, "GEO. S. PARKER PARKER VACUMATIC MADE IN U.S.A. with a date code of 8 (for 1938 ) in the 1st quarter". The transparency of the barrel is very clear with minor ambering. There are no monograms or personalizations on the cap or barrel. This 1st Generation Parker Vacumatic Shadow Wave Junior Fountain Pen is the larger of the two sizes and measures 5 1/8" in length capped and 6 1/8" posted.

The Lockdown Vacumatic Filling System works great, typically in my tests with water about 12-15 presses and it will fill full. The proper lockdown filling unit operates smoothly and works as it was designed to. I have greased the filling unit to provide continuous smooth operation for years to come.

The NIB is a 14K Parker Split Arrow which has a fine point measuring roughly .52mm, measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample the NIB writes with a fine to broad stroke/line. The writing sample provided in the image has a fine stroke measuring .54mm and can flex to a broad stroke measuring 1.02mm, with firm pressure when measuring with digital calipers. The sample was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Montblanc Black Ink. 

This is a 1st Generation (1933 to 1938) Parker Vacumatic Shadow Wave Fountain Pen in the Emerald pearl color is difficult color to acquire. This Vac is ready to write with or just add it to your writing arsenal collection. I would grade this Parker Vacumatic in Excellent to Excellent + Condition and is a great addition to your Parker Vacumatic Collection.
