A nice glossy burgundy red Duofold Junior in good condition.  The main problem with this pen is the slight fading in colour to the barrel which you will not ice when you remove the cap.  In most lights it is not really that noticeable, but it is there.  Otherwise, the pen is in very nice condition with a good glossy appearance.  There are no noticeable scratches to either barrel or cap.  The Parker arrow pocket clip and deco engraved cap band are both rolled gold.  The burgundy cap top jewel is glossy and undamaged.  The barrel unscrews to reveal the Aerometric filling system.  The brushed steel protector is still in good condition.  The original pli-glass ink sac has the usual internal ink staining.  It is still in good useable condition.  These sacs seem to go on forever.  The Parker No. 10 14 carat gold nib is in a medium point. The barrel imprint is quite shallow, but complete and readable.  

I have fully serviced this pen.  The pen writes very smoothly with a lovely wet, consistent and medium width line.  The nib also has a little softness which allows for a tiny bit of line width variation as you write.
