PA3797 Parker Duofold Junior, boxed. (Semi-Flexible Medium)

Date: c1950s

Size: Capped - 136mm; posted - 157mm.

A very attractive, deep blue 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 blue "jewel" and has a washer style arrow pocket clip and narrow "deco" engraved cap band.  There is a beautifully crisp and sharp imprint on the barrel.  The barrel unscrews to reveal the Aerometric filler.  This is still in excellent condition - the sac guard is nice and clean with none of the usual discolouration at the ends.  The original pliglass ink sac is still present and shows no evidence at all that it has ever seen ink.  The nib is a shiny Parker No. 10 in 14 carat gold.  It is a medium point. The box has polka-dot lid and base - the former white with black dots and Parker arrows, and the latter black with white dots.  It is also in lovely, clean condition inside and out.  Inside the pad is lined with ivory coloured satin. 

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib is very smooth and writes with a lovely, wet and consistent medium width line.  The nib is beautifully soft - I would say semi-flexible - and will give you some very attractive live width variation as you write from a fine to a broad.
