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.
