1935 parker vacumatic demonstrator







UPDATE:
(with better photos)










 the 45 on the nib indicates that this pen is from the fourth quarter of 1935
 the scratch i mentioned can be seen 3/4 of the way up the threading and this is a good photo of the clouding on the section as well.  
 close up of the inscription



this is the demonstrator next to a highly discolored silver pearl junior slender vac from the 3rd quarter of 1935 i included this blurry photo to show the difference in finish between the two plungers.
