I'm looking for a Parker Vacumatic with either the Azure Blue Pearl or Silver Pearl stripes. I would prefer one with the Blue Diamond style clip, but I suppose that isn't absolutely essential.

I'm also looking for a striped Parker Duofold in the Blue Pearl color.

For both pens, I'd like an Extra-Fine or finer nib, the standard size (I'm not too familiar with all the different models depending upon which version it is, but I'm thinking of the basic ~5" model), and for the pens to have been restored. I'm flexible on the actual physical appearance of the pen, but I want them to function well.

Send me a PM if you have something that might interest me and we can go from there.

Take a look at my website... you will find plenty of Vacumatics.... My Favorite Pen
Your only problem is finding an xf or finer nib... not common on these pens....

I've managed to track down a Silver Pearl Vacumatic. So, I have what I am looking for there.

I've received an offer for an Azure Blue Pearl Vac, but it's more than I want to spend. So, if anybody else has a Blue Pearl Vac that might interest me, then send me a note.

I'm also still looking for a Duofold in the Blue Pearl striped pattern.

Just to make sure that people don't think I've already found everything, I'll actually post in the thread to say that I'm still looking for an Azure Blue Pearl Vac and/or Duofold. If you have either, then let me know.

While I would prefer a pen that has been restored and is working properly, I would consider one that hasn't been restored.

Perhaps I have a pen for you. It’s the blue one in the following pictures.

It’s a Parker Vac 3.generation in near mint condition. No brassing and a very clear barrel. The nib is a fine to medium size. Pen is completely restored.

My price: $150 + shipping

Let me know if you are interested.

That's a beautiful looking pen, Christof. Unfortunately, the one aspect that I'm least flexible about is the nib. If the price was right, I would consider a fine nib. But something on the medium side of fine would not get used. So, I will pass.

Hi BrianDiPalma, my azure blue vacumatic is still available, if you're interested: http://www.fountainp...6#entry1596796. It writes an extra fine to fine line.

[BrianDiPalma]

I've sent holgalee a PM with some questions and I'm awaiting a response. While I anticipate purchasing her pen, I am still open to other offers in the meantime.

[BrianDiPalma]

An Azure Blue Pearl Vacumatic has been acquired.

I'm still looking for a Blue Pearl Duofold.
