A red-brown (“Rust”) Parker VS (“Vacumatic Successor”) pen with Lustraloy cap, polished cap band and a 14k fine nib with clear Lucite feed.
The VS was introduced by Parker in 1946, as the Vacumatic was ending production, to provide an open nib option to the Parker 51. It was a button filler not a Vacumatic filler, with an aluminium button under a blind cap with aluminium threads. These Mark I VS pens were in production for less than two years and so quite collectable.
The pen is 13.9cm closed and 14.9cm with the cap posted, a little shorter than the Parker 51.
The pen is in excellent condition: the Lucite feed has excellent transparency, there are no marks on the Lustraloy cap, good barrel colour and feint but legible barrel imprint.
