派克真空蟑螂肚1938年Maxima Or NOT?

cuteline

In the auction site, this pen was just sold for around 505 yuan,
http://www.penbbs.com/viewthread.php?tid=25801&extra=page%3D1
which is very nice price for this uncommon Parker vacumatic Pen. Congratulations to the winner! A great buy, but not a steal.

The point I want to raise here is: Is this really a Maxima? I believe not.
Length-wise, it is the same as a Maxima (later called "Slender Maxima"). But the cap's band is wrong. Indeed, there is a "Senior Maxima" which is of the same length but much thicker. If you are interested in various kinds of vacs, you can see here: http://www.vacumania.com/websitesales/soldpensparkervacumatic.htm

It has only one REAL (Slender) Maxima in red, which was sold for US$545! (brown and silver colors are cheaper, but still ...)! So, ... you should know what to do when you see a real Maxima next time!

The information from http://parkerpens.net/parker/vacumatic.shtml, which only has the length information attached to each model, is incomplete and misleading.

由于种种原因，而无法到国外网站买笔的，是一种悲哀

But that prices from vacumania.com are quite high.

anyway，505的价格很合适，即使它不是maxima

看来真空的可玩性确实高啊

Absolutely. I agree with you on everywords you said.

真空可玩性在古董笔里数一数二，很便宜的也有，贵死人的也有，跨度很大，变种繁多。逐步升级是新笔迷首选之路，不必一下子就上到一定高度，那样消退得也快，基础不够扎实。老宋的那个观点跟我是一样的，要想买到好的 ...

我这里只是想探讨一个“学术问题”：这到底是不是MAXIMA？
其实不管是不是，老宋的最后价钱也是非常好的。

not a steal
这是啥意思啊...以前一老外也跟我这么说来着...我还以为他是把"钢铁"的单词拼错了..

直翻是”不是偷的", 意思是还不是特便宜。中文可以说“还不是地摊儿的价”。
