To fill simply unscrew the blind cap, submerse the nib, and depress the plastic plunger until the barrel is full. Vacs are something of a specialty of mine and I take pride in the amount of attention I devote to each. Any dried\/coagulated ink is removed from feed channels. All remnants of thread sealant and ossified diaphragms are cleaned away. Threads are meticulously chased. Interiors of barrels are cleaned and polished to remove ink staining and restore transparency. Sections are sealed against leaks using rosin-based thread sealant. Guaranteed to fill and write as designed without leaks or other problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: This full-sized 3rd-generation model measures 5 1\/8” capped. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNib\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14k Vac Arrow nib lays down a smooth and consistent \u003cstrong\u003eF\u003c\/strong\u003e line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gold-plated trim is virtually pristine with no brassing or other notable flaws. Celluloid has a smooth, lustrous surface with no deep scratches or other noteworthy blemishes – scarcely even any microscratches. Excellent barrel transparency of a light orange color.  Manufacturer imprint and date code on barrel are deep and fully legible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parker's bestselling pen from the 1930s-early 1940s, the Vacumatic stores ink directly in the barrel, which has transparent striations enabling the writer to see how much ink remains. The Major was a step up from the Junior, having more generous trim with chevron cap band and carrying Parker's Blue Diamond (lifetime) guarantee. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penchantment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67620739580203,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/5165\/3419\/files\/Parker_Vacumatic_Major_Fountain_Pen_emerald_pearl.jpg?v=1790825191","url":"https:\/\/penchantment.com\/products\/1945-parker-vacumatic-major-fountain-pen-emerald-pearl","provider":"Penchantment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
