PA3821 Parker Duofold Senior. (Soft Broad Oblique)

Date: c1950s

Size: Capped - 140mm; posted - 158mm.

A rather nice dark bottle green Senior Duofold.  This pen is in very good condition.  There are no noticeable scratches on either cap or barrel, and it has a lovely glossy appearance.  The cap has a green conical top "jewel" with a rolled gold Parker arrow pocket clip and a rolled gold "deco" engraved cap band.  The barrel unscrews for access to the Aerometric filler.  This is made from brushed steel.  It is nice and clean with just a tiny bit of discolouration at the back edge.  The original pli-glass ink sac is still fitted, and it is in excellent condition, still retaining a good amount of its original transparency.  The nib is a lovely and large 14 carat gold Parker No. 35 in a rather unusual broad oblique point.  It is still nice and shiny and undamaged.  

I have fully serviced this pen.  Because of the large ink sac, it holds a good amount of ink.  The nib is very smooth with a good amount of iridium on the tip.  The old-fashioned oblique nib will give some rather lovely and effortless line width variation as you write.
