A very attractive burgundy red 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. Overall, this pen appears to have hardly been used. The cap is topped with a burgundy coloured "jewel" which holds on the rolled gold Parker arrow pocket clip. Below this is a "deco" engraved cap band. The imprint to the side of the barrel is typically shallow, but still clear and crisp on this pen. The barrel unscrews to reveal the Aerometric filler. This is also in excellent condition - the original pliglass ink sac has hardly any internal ink staining and retains nearly all of its original transparency. The nib is a shiny Parker No. 10 in 14 carat gold. It is a medium - fine point.
I have fully serviced this pen. The nib is very smooth and writes with a lovely wet and consistent fine width line. The nib on this pen is quite soft - it will give some very attractive if understated line width variation as you write.
