PA3613 Parker Duofold Junior. (Soft Medium)

Date: c1950s

Size: Length -135mm capped; 160mm posted.

A super glossy blue Duofold Junior in very good condition.  There are no noticeable scratches to either barrel or cap, and all the rolled gold trim is in excellent, unbrassed condition. The only thing I would mention on this pen is some very slight colour fading to the cap and barrel.  You can only notice this when the cap is off and you can compare the forward part of the barrel which has been protected by the cap with the rest of the barrel, which has the slight fading.  The Parker arrow pocket clip and deco engraved cap band are both rolled gold.  The blue conical ended cap top jewel is glossy and undamaged.  The barrel unscrews to reveal the Aerometric filling system.  The brushed steel protector is in very good condition.  The original pli-glass ink sac has  the usual internal ink staining.  The Parker No. 10 14 carat gold nib is in a medium point. 

I have fully serviced this pen.  The pen writes very smoothly with a lovely wet, consistent and medium width line.  The nib does have a little bit of softness to it, and will even manage a tiny bit of line width variation as you write.
