Parker Vacumatic Demi Sized Lustraloy (stainless steel) caps with chrome plated clips.  These caps had a matte finish with a shiny cap band when new.  Finish was more "brushed" than the later aerometric series caps.  The finish did not stand up to wear too well and quickly wore off.  This was a unique sized cap introduced for the Demi "51" in 1947-1948 with no Blue Diamond guarantee.  One of only two patterns available.

Gold Filled Caps with plain arrow gold filled clips, with pattern of closely spaced lines all around.  Note the "Parker" on the bottom of the cap, over the line pattern.  This was a unique sized cap introduced for the Demi "51" in 1947-1948 with no Blue Diamond guarantee.  One of only two patterns available.

Canadian-made Sterling Silver caps with chrome plated clips, lined pattern with chevron band.  This combination of Sterling Silver with the plain arrow clip was only available in canadian production, around 1947-1948 for the vacumatic pens.  These caps all had a rhodium plating to prevent tarnish.  The finish did not stand up to wear too well, often wearing inconsistantly, and can sometimes be found with an uneven, unattractive appearance.  In addition, the soft metal is very prone to dents and dings, and finding caps in perfect condition is very hard.
