Hot Sale Scarce C1923 Duofold Senior Red Hard Rubber Large Imprint Fountain Pen Restored Perfect For Gifting [H4WMxU36]

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Restored Circa 1923 Parker Senior Duofold Fountain Pen in Red Hard Rubber with large DUOFLD imprint. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and is now in excellent writing condition. 

This is one pen from my personal collection. The pen is in the condition when I purchased it over 10 years ago.

The significance of this particular Parker Duofold, for those who do not know, is the material being red hard rubber and having the large "DUOFOLD" imprint. In addition, it is an early circa 1922-23 production year fountain pen and is considered one of the "grail" fountain pens for Parker collectors.

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 only the slightest wear on the ball of the clip. The raised (or some call it girdle) single cap band displays no gold fill wear. The barrel is clearly stamped with, "Large DUOFOLD imprint along with GEO. S. PARKER FOUNTAIN PEN JANESVILLE WIS. U.S.A. LUCKY CURVE PAT JAN 03-05. APR. 11-05 APR. 25-12 JUN. 4-12". The blind cap has the appropriately marked 6. There are no monograms or personalizations to either the cap or barrel. The cap and barrel display absolutely wonderful color but if I had to say the thread area is maybe a shade darker than the barrel - it is really tough to notice it in the images. 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". The actual writing portion (iridium tip) of the 14K Parker NIB has a fine point measuring roughly .53mm 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 .46mm and will range to a medium line measuring .64mm with medium to firm 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 Duofold is of simple design, yet, very significant due to the hard rubber material, large imprint, and how early this fountain pen is. I would consider the condition of this Parker Duofold to be in Very Fine Condition and boarding on Excellent 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.
