Product Description
Type Vintage Aerometric filling fountain pen.
Product Name Senior Duofold. #35 nib identifies it as a Senior.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in England -- 1954 (There is no visible date code on the barrel. The nib is marked 35 4 with dots under each number. English Duofolds officially adopted aerometric systems in 1953).
Length 5-1/2"
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 black cap jewel. 1/8" wide cap band with a chevron pattern (which looks sort of like this: ////\\\\////\\\\).
Nib Medium Parker 14k England with markings 35 4 with dots under each number.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a full-size, shiny pen in a classic style. The black coloring is uniform and dark. The cap and barrel have light to moderate wear, but the overall pen looks very shiny. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip. The cap band pattern is fully intact though with some wear. The clip looks nice and shiny and the patterning is great. It has some plating wear around the edges of the arrow tip. The clip band has some pitting around the edges and some scratching. The top black jewel has a little bit of scratching. The imprints are somewhat faded but readable, though there is a line of imprinting between the "Parker Duofold" and "Made in England" that is quite faded.
