The Parker Duofold Vacumatic

A Parker Duofold Vacumatic in striped maroon and silver, sometimes also referred to as the Duovac, dating back to sometime around 1942. 

This originally came with an aluminium speed-line filler that was damaged beyond repair. I replaced it with a NOS plastic-plunger vac unit since I didn't have the expertise or raw material to fix and restore the speed-line unit. It sports a 14k gold F nib (inscribed PARKER PEN, MADE IN USA, 2) and lays a wet line closer to M with a bit of pleasant feedback and flex.
