Kindly help to ID this Parker pencil

This pencil, a recent gift from a friend, belonged to her grandfather.

The pencil weighs 20g.  The single band, that has geometric lines also 

has a space upon which "9-10-41" is engraved (perhaps a birth date?). The barrel is inscribed "GEO.S.PARKER - PARKER  - MADE IN U.S.A 1 ".

I don't know how to feed leads into this pencil, nor do I know the appropriate lead size. The opening in the tip seems very small to me. Moreover I see no provision for space for an eraser. 

Thanks for any help.length.jpg.48b002ae138e2b8d544df50ad6cb614f.jpg

My thought is that it went with a Black Parker Vacumatic fountain pen

It could be a repeater pencil.   The cap should come off the top, and you should find an eraser underneath.   You should also see where the lead goes in.   I would guess lead is either 1.1 mm or .9 mm.   You might be able to feed it from the nose, as well.

Thanks very much for your reply. I had trouble removing the cap, and a search here on FPN revealed a suggestion to place the pencil in a freezer for a couple of hours.  I'm not sure what the physics are behind this suggestion, but it worked! I can't imagine how the damage occurred (how could someone rip the metal like that?), but I sanded off the ragged edges that were the cause of the difficulty in removing the cap. I would like to replace the damaged part, but don't now how I might source it. The pencil isn't a repeater. There was no eraser, but the one from my Waterman Expert fits (see pix).  I suspect that the correct lead is .9mm.  A .7mm is a bit small.
