Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Restored Circa 1926 Parker Flat Top Lucky Curve Senior Duofold Fountain Pen in Red Permanite as known by most as, "BIG RED". This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, ultrasonically cleaned, put back together, and is now in wonderful writing condition.

NOTE: Finding a Big Red is not hard to do. However, finding one in this type of condition which I grade in Near Mint to Mint condition is much more scarce. The color is perfect as is the gold-filled trim. Finding a Parker Senior Big Red Duofold in this condition is rare as hens' teeth.

The fountain pen cap, barrel, and blind cap are in great condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The Cap has a Gold Filled Parker Clip with PAT SEP 5 - 16 stamped and has been polished to shine bright with no signs of wear. The raised single cap band does not display wear and is polished to shine brightly once again. The barrel is clearly stamped with, Small DUOFOLD imprint along with "GEO. S. PARKER FOUNTAIN PEN JANESVILLE WIS. U.S.A. LUCKY CURVE BANNER LOGO PAT 4-25-11". There are no monograms or personalizations on either the cap or barrel. The cap and barrel display absolutely wonderful even color. This Parker Duofold is the Senior Size and measures 5 1/2" capped and 6 1/2" posted.

This Duofold has a Button Filler mechanism and has been tested with water and fills as it should. The filling unit operates as it was originally intended to and smoothly.

The Parker NIB is 14K and stamped, "PARKER DUOFOLD PEN P". The actual writing portion (iridium tip) of the 14K Parker NIB has a medium point measuring roughly .63mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a Fine stroke/line. In the writing sample provided, the fine line measures between .53mm to .58mm with medium pressure when measured with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Montblanc Blue Ink.

This is Parker Senior Duofold is of simple design, yet, very significant due to how clean this pen is. I would consider the condition of this Parker Duofold to be in Near Mint to Mint Condition. It is a spectacular writing collectible and certainly a significant fountain pen that would make for a "holy grail" addition to one's writing arsenal collection.
