Product Description
Type Vintage Aerometric filling fountain pen.
Product Name New Standard Duofold (the imprint is mostly worn away, but it's the proper size for a New Standard).
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in England -- Circa 1959, the date code cannot be made out on the barrel but the nib has a date code of 9 and the Duofold Standard was introduced in the late 1950s.
Length New Standard size, about 5-1/8 inches long.
Filling System Aerometric squeeze filler like the later Parker 51s and the Parker 21s. We've tested it and it's working well.
Color Black with gold plated trim and a green cap jewel. 1/8" wide cap band with a lined triangles pattern (which looks sort of like this: ////\\\\////\\\\).
Nib FINE open nib is marked Parker Duofold 14k 25. The 25 means that it goes with a Parker Duofold Standard. It's in great condition, very smooth with very good tipping material. It has a soft feel, but no real flex for line variation. Very springy
Condition Excellent condition. The pen is mostly free of handwear but the cap band is quite worn and there is additional plating wear on the clip. In addition, the imprint is there but not legible. No cracks or chips, dings or dents, personalization. It's working very well.
