One More Parker Id

[rabernathy]

As noted in my earlier post, I found a stash of pens in my Grandfather's work bench and I'm trying to figure out which to keep and which to let go but the first step seems to be to figure out what they are. This, based upon the research I've done, looks kind of like a UK Duofold. Two problems, it has made in USA stamped all over it and it does not have an "arrow" clip. See pics below and thanks for your help.

I'm thinking it's a Duofold Vacuum filler, sometimes called a "Duovac". Check out Parker Pens.net. What else did you find?

@ rabernathy -- If you could post a better picture of the end of the barrel with the blind cap off (like in photo 1 but specfically that metal part, it might be easier to see if it's a Duovac or a button filler Duofold.

I have a black Laidtone Duovac which I picked up in an estate sale a few months ago (it's got alternating stripes of black and somewhat clear (now mostly pretty ambered), and definitely a Duovac (my other two Laidtones are both button fillers). But yours doesn't look like a Laidtone, although the clip is similar to the Laidtone clip.

They were also made in standard button fill form
