PA3694 Parker Duofold Junior, boxed. (Semi-Flexible Medium-Broad)

Date: c1950s

Size: Capped - 135mm; posted - 155mm.

A very attractive glossy black Junior Duofold in excellent condition.  There are no splits, cracks or chips and not even any noticeable scratches on either barrel or cap.  All trim is rolled gold and again has no damage.  The cap is topped with a conical black "jewel" and has a washer style arrow pocket clip and narrow "deco" engraved cap band.  The barrel imprint is complete, but it is quite shallow as the imprints on these pens tend to be.  The barrel unscrews to reveal the Aerometric filler.  This is also in very nice condition - just a little discolouration to the forward end of the sac guard.  The nib is a shiny Parker No. 10 in 14 carat gold.  It is a medium-broad point.  The paperboard stock box is also in very nice condition and even includes the original instruction sheet.  No major problems, a couple of ink stains to the lid. 

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib is very smooth and writes with a lovely wet and consistent medium to broad width line.  It is a soft nib - I would say semi-flexible, and it will give you some lovely and very easy line width variation from a medium-fine to a very good solid broad. 

A smashing example of this very popular pen.
