The Parker VS stands for "Victory Series." These often overlooked vintage pens were part of Parker's post-World War II sales and marketing efforts. In order to guarantee that they had high-quality affordable pens available for returning G.I.s, Parker resurrected its button-fill technology and packaged it with sleek new styling. Thus, soldiers and sailors didn't have to spend a fortune on a more expensive Parker Vacumatic or Parker 51. Fully restored, we are not sure this pen was ever inked outside of a dip test to see how smoothly the fine-point nib writes. (Very smoothly) The inkfeed is crystal clear. This Parker VS has minor surface wear and an imprint from 1947. The blind cap closes flush to the body. 13.9 cm capped.
