Mystery Nib Question

[brimic]

Hello Parker folk!

 

I just bought a Vacumatic with a strange nib, its a Canadian Long Major with a nib marked "W", what could this possibly mean and is it any rare? I bough it off eBay out of curiosity for 100$, would love some more info!

I posed a similar question not too long ago, and I believe the answer came back that the initial (mine was "R") indicated where the nib was made.

Perhaps to recommend its use mounted in a wide "W" channel feed?

 

In addition "W" thypo -with "wings"- in your nib matches with the "W" engraved in one of my feed mounting a Parker bitone nib "IMPORTÉ DES E.U. D´AMERIQUE 18 CT" (when I have some time I will make a comparative photo of it and I'll upload here).

The image of both "W" as mere curiosity.
