Description

For your consideration we are offering for sale this Gorgeous Restored 1939 Double Jewel Parker Shadow-Wave Fountain Pen in Emerald Celluloid. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned and put back together and now is in wonderful writing condition.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, section, breather tube, cap and barrel. Replaced the old diaphragm with a new, properly sized one. Hand polished the Gold Filled Feather Clip, Double Cap Banding and 14K Split Arrow NIB. Cleaned, Buffed, Polished & Waxed the barrel and cap to bring back the vibrancy and to protect the finish of the fountain pen.

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in good condition with no cracks, chips, or repairs. The cap has the Gold Filled Feather Arrow clip with no brassing. The Double Cap Banding displays a wonderful gold filled color, again, with no brassing. The top and bottom jewels are black and polished to high shine. The long jeweled blind cap securely fits. The barrel is clearly stamped with, "Geo. S. Parker Parker Vacumatic and a date code of 1939 in the 1st quarter". The transparency of the barrel is excellent and one can easily see through the barrel, albeit with mild ambering. There are no monograms or personalizations on the cap or barrel. This Parker Vacumatic Shadow Wave Fountain Pen is Junior Model that measures 5 1/8" in length capped and 6 1/8" posted.

The Vacumatic Filling System works great, typically in my tests with water about 7 to 8 presses and it will fill 3/4 full. The filling unit operates smoothly and works as it was designed to.

The NIB is a 14K Parker Split Arrow and has the same date code, 1939 in the first quarter, as the barrel - a marriage of NIB and Cap/Body. The 14K Parker NIB has a fine point measuring roughly .51mm, 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 medium stroke that measures .52mm and can flex to a roughly 1.09mm with medium pressure. The sample was done with the actual pen in the images that is listed for sale. I have tested the filling mechanism with water and fills as it should. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Parker Quink Blue-Black Ink.

Any specks of white in the images are from the cotton that I used to clean the barrel and cap.

This is a great Parker Vacumatic Shadow Wave Fountain Pen in the Emerald color that is ready to write or just add to writing arsenal collection. I would grade this Parker Vacumatic in Excellent Condition and one of the more desirable colors in the Shadow Wave pattern.
