Parker's period advertising called it “The World's Most Wanted Pen,” and this assertion was true although a little deceptive; the U.S.A. entered World War II in December 1941, and the War Production Board placed severe restrictions on production of pens for civilian sale. Parker's continued advertising during the war created a demand that took several years to fulfill after the end of the war. The pen was developed for use not with Parker's regular ink Quink, but with a new formula ink, advertised with the slogan, "writes dry with wet ink".
