Thank you for your kind offer. The original section has a broken feed stem that is still stuck (screwed) inside this section.

I have a s spare grey section with intact nib/feed unit but the pictures show how this rare pen came to me.

An uncommon Parker VP Flighter (without nib):

 

Wow!

I bought a Parker parts lot from an elderly repairsperson who was closing his shop. The lot included two flighter barrels that did not fit any of my Parker pens. Until one day I accidentally found they are Parker VP flighter barrels after I acquired two VPs (one grey and one red). The grey one is now turned to flighter version.

I don't think you will find an Insignia Flighter Fountain Pen, any time soon.

If any one has one, I would be interested in seeing pics.

That's interesting!

 

I bought my VP Flighter on Ebay a few years ago from a seller in Thailand. Back then, the auction was commented on by FPN members and the general conclusion here was that that pen was probably not a genuine Parker pen. I bought the pen anyway because I trusted the seller (I had bought from him before) and because the unique shape of the VP barrel is not that easy to reproduce without having the original molds.

 

So it is interesting that you have found two additional VP Flighter barrels.

Can you share pictures? Have the barrels pearl or black jewels?

International, SystemMark, 35, Mixy, Latitude, Itala, Inflection, I.M., Rialto, 85, and pointers. T-1s sold to the public are Titanium and therefore technically not Flighters. However, there are SS T-1 FPs & BPs that were created but not sold.
