PA3632 Parker Duofold Standard (Broad Oblique)

Date: c1950s

Size: Length Capped - 131mm; Length Posted - 149mm.

A very attractive glossy jet black standard sized Aerometric Duofold with rolled gold trim and a Parker N0. 25 14ct gold nib.   The pen is in excellent condition with no damage at all to report.  Both cap and barrel are nice and glossy with no noticeable scratches or other damage.  All the rolled gold trim is bright and shiny with no wear apparent.  Internally, the filling mechanism is also in excellent condition.  The cap has a black conical end "jewel" and a rolled gold Parker Arrow pocket clip. There is also a wide cap band - also rolled gold - that has the usual "deco" engraving.   The lovely nib is in a very unusual broad oblique point. There is a very faint but complete imprint on the barrel.

I have fully serviced this pen.  It fills and writes superbly.  The nib produces a very good wet and consistent broad width line. This is an old fashioned oblique nib with "sharp" corners so may take a little bit of getting used to.  The advantage is that the line width variation is both crisper and more pronounced than with a more modern cursive oblique.  It will easily manage variation from an extra-fine to a solid broad width.  

An excellent writer, and in excellent condition.
