Date: c1950s

Size: Length - 135mm capped; 158mm posted.

A super glossy dark blue Duofold Junior in excellent condition.  There are no noticeable scratches to either barrel or cap, and all the rolled gold trim is in excellent, unbrassed condition. I really can't find any damage on this pen at all.  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 excellent condition.  The original pli-glass ink sac has only very minor ink staining which suggests to me that the pen has seen only very light use.  The Parker No. 10 14 carat gold nib is in a medium point.  The barrel imprint is complete but quite shallow as many of these are. 

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