PA3760 Parker Duofold Junior (Semi-Flexible Medium)

Date: c1950s

Size: Capped - 135mm; posted - 158mm.

This lovely glossy dark navy blue Junior Duofold is in excellent condition.  Both barrel and cap are free from cracks, chips and splits.  They have a beautiful glossy sheen and have no scratches or other blemishes at all.  The cap has a conical blue top "jewel", and a rolled gold Parker arrow pocket clip.  All the trim is undamaged with no plate loss at all.  Near the cap lip is the usual "Deco" engraved band.  The imprint, on the side of the barrel, is unusually clear, crisp and deep.  The 14 carat yellow gold Parker No. 10 nib is also undamaged and in a medium point.  It has a huge blob of iridium at the tip and will last for donkey's years.  The aerometric filler is accessed by unscrewing the barrel.  It is also undamaged with the original pliglass ink sac which shows absolutely no evidence of ever seeing ink.  The sac guard is chrome plated and frosted.  It shows no plating wear.  I can in fact find no damage at all on this pen.  

I have fully serviced this pen.  It writes very smoothly and produces a wet and medium width line.  It does have an unusual degree of softness to it - I would class it as semi-flexible - and will produce some very attractive line width variation from a fine to a good generous broad as you write.
