PA3678 Parker Duofold Demi (Medium)

Date: c1951

Size: Length Capped -126mm; Length Posted - 142mm.

A glossy blue demi sized Aerometric Duofold with rolled gold trim and a Parker Newhaven nib.   The pen is in very good condition - the only thing that really lets it down is the plating wear to the pocket clip which, as usual, looks a lot worse in the close-up photos below than it does with the naked eye.  Otherwise, both cap and barrel are nice and glossy with no noticeable scratches or other damage.   The barrel has a nice and clear imprint and this includes the date code for 1951 to the right.  Internally, the filling mechanism is also in excellent condition; there is some internal ink staining to the pliglass ink sac but it still retains a little of its original transparency.  The cap has a green 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 a Parker Newhaven in 14 carat yellow gold and in a medium point.  

I have fully serviced this pen.  It fills and writes superbly.  The nib produces a very good wet and consistent medium width line. 

An excellent writer, and would make an ideal everyday pen.
