The 1932 Parker catalog shows streamlined Black and Gold pens.  In the 1934 catalog, they have been replaced with the Parkette and Challenger.  Yet here is one with a 4th quarter 1934 date code on both the barrel and nib, found last week in the wilds of Minnesota.

Vacumatics can sometimes be found with late date codes, too.  Here's a US manufacture dated 1957.

My feeling is that this pen had to be assembled and sold as new in 1957 since it has the dated inscription.
