Canadian-made Sterling Silver\u00a0caps with chrome\u00a0plated clips, lined pattern with chevron band.\u00a0 This combination of Sterling Silver with the plain arrow clip was only available in canadian production, around 1947-1948 for the vacumatic pens.\u00a0 These caps all had a rhodium plating to prevent tarnish.\u00a0\u00a0The finish did not stand\u00a0up to wear too well, often wearing inconsistantly, and can sometimes be found with an\u00a0uneven, unattractive appearance.\u00a0 In addition, the soft metal is very prone to dents and dings, and finding caps in perfect condition is very hard.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gold Filled Cap with\u00a014k solid gold clip.\u00a0Pattern is of horizontal and vertical lines forming “windows”.\u00a0 Sold as the “Heritage” model.\u00a0 This is the aerometric series version, where the “Parker” imprint is superimposed over the lines pattern, unlike the earlier “window panes” were Parker was on a “cap band” by itself.\u00a0 From the catalogs I have seen, it would appear that this was a very short lived model for 1948-1949.\u00a0 There was also a version made in the demi size, which is even harder to find.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
