That is the pen Phil, and better photos than I could get.

At 115mm it the same size as a Junior while the clip is the same as on the Lady. Apart from the markings there is nothing on the pen that wasn't produced by Parker and we know that they produced pens for others. The lack of a country of manufacture is intriguing but did anyone else produce the Christmas tree feed?.

Having looked around my conclusion is that it is probably a sub brand of the Danish Penol company. British pens obviously represented quality in Denmark with Big Ben using British patents and other pens such as the 'Sheffield' and I feel it is more than a nice copy. But that is just my opinion!

 Oxford Everdurable was made by the German company Siebert & Löwen (Matador) for a danish trading company - it is not connected to Christian Olsen and Penol

It´ s definately a replacement nib. We often find this type of replacement nibs on Parker pens sold in Scandinavia! For collectors this is very frustrating but for the user it did´ nt mean anything or very little!

Hello ...I am french but living in Denmark, have been collecting fountain pens and mechanical pencils for a couple of years and once in a while I have some questions about them and this looks like a good place to get them answered...

Best regards to all of you

Hello Anne - I m from Denmark too - though living in Sweden. What are you collecting?

Gentlemen!

In 1903 Chr. Olsen obtained the distribution rights for sale of Parker Pens in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

Most of the Parker pens imported to Scandinavia bear the Chr. Olsen logotype. 
For some reason these "Vac-banded" Vacumatics are found more frequently in Sweden than other countries.

Over the years I found 6-7 of these pens in Sweden but never in Denmark!
It is most likely that "your" (lovely) vac-banded major was sold in Sweden!

Welcome , you seem to have lot of information which must be very helpful !

Thanks Saleem!
