Parker Vacumatic Poversize Faceted (?)

Recommended Posts

Hi!!



Some days ago I bougth at Mexico city (where I live) a faceted fountain pen, wich looks as a Parker Vacumatic oversize.



I was searching in the web in orden to confirm if it is an authentic Parker, but I didn't get any information or images about faceted Parkers.



The pen description is:



Barrel engraved: "Parker Vacumatic USA" (the "V" is engraved on the "R")


Long with cap: 13.5 centimeters (5 1/4")


Barrel diameter: 1.6 centimeters (5/8")


Color: Borgoña


Faceted barrel and cap



Apparently, the original nib was replaced with a "Harley Davidson" nib (!!!).



Some members in the First Stop forum had gave me very interesting information, wich says the pen it's not a genuine Parker.



Some people says it's an italian pen. Other people says he has similar pens, but are diferente in the part of the barrel that screw in the cap. Someone more says the engraved is fancy, so it can't be an italian pen.



Can somebody in this Parker forum help me whit some aditional information?



I'm attaching some pictures.



Thanks!



Jorge.

The original thread can be found here. Rather than have two separate threads covering the same subject, I suggest that replies be put in the original thread.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
