Parker Duofold Made in England

I received my pen in the mail yesterday, pretty fast shipment from England. It was postmarked on 7/7 and it arrived on 7/14!

Anyway, I rinsed it and did my best to make sure it was empty and fairly dry and then loaded it with Private Reserve Midnight Blues. This is a smooth writer and I like how it feels in my hand.

Here are the pics!

Congrats. Nice pen.

Classy looking pen! How's the nib? Those UK Parker gold nibs are generally quite smooth.

It feels very smooth and glides over the paper. It feels a lot like my Waterman's Expert II in terms of how it writes.

Nice!

Awesome score! I've got a green Duofold from the UK coming.

Man, I may have to give up my vow to quit ebay. Anyone have an extra they want to get rid of?

Those English Duofolds are superb... I got one about a week ago with a factory Stub... smoothest stub I've ever used.

Very nice!

Is that one a button filler or later aerometric, Brian?

Button Filler

The factory stub is impressive.

You guys are killing me, how am I going to keep up.

Easy... just get one.... the Duofolds and Edisons are the only reason for me to set down my "51"'s.... although a incoming Sailor may also do it !!!
