Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Restored 1929/1941 Parker Flat top Senior Duofold Fountain Pen in Red Permanite. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, ultrasonically cleaned, put back together, and now is in wonderful writing condition. NOTE: This Senior Duofold has the late imprint with an inverted "1" 2nd quarter date code indicating late production using earlier parts. 

I have ultrasonically cleaned the feed and section. Replaced the old sac with a new rubber sac. I have hand-polished the Gold-Filled Parker Clip, Double Ring Cap Banding, and 14K Parker NIB. Cleaned, Buffed, and Polished the barrel, blind cap, and cap to bring back the vibrancy of the fountain pen and to protect the celluloid. This Parker Duofold is the Senior Size and measures 5 3/8" capped and 6 7/8" posted.

The fountain pen cap, barrel, and blind cap are in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The Cap has a Gold Filled Parker Clip with PARKER stamped and has been polished to shine brightly - there is the very slightest wear towards the top edges of the clip. The double-ring cap banding displays rich gold-filled color with no wear. The barrel is stamped with, "GEO. S. PARKER PARKER DUOFOLD MADE IN U.S.A.". There are no monograms or personalizations to either the cap or barrel. The cap and barrel are super clean with no discoloration and consistent coloring between the cap and barrel.

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

The Parker NIB is 14K and has a medium point measuring roughly .80mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a fine to medium stroke/line. In the writing sample provided, the fine line measures at .53mm on the horizontal strokes, and the medium line measures at .88mm when measuring with digital calipers. This Nib writes smoothly with a wet line. 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 an Iconic vintage Parker Flattop Duofold Fountain Pen in the Senior size and is a gorgeous example from Parker that is very clean with a smooth writing nib. I would consider this Parker grade in Excellent Condition. It is ready to write or just add it to your writing arsenal collection.
