The Parker Duofold Senior was added to the U.K. Duofold aerometric line in 1954, a year after the first aerometrics, the 'Standard' and the 'Demi'. This Senior pen has a date code for the last quarter of 1955.
The pen is finished in Green, by far the most uncommon colour, with a Gold filled, chevron engraved cap band and Gold filled clip. It is in excellent condition throughout with no usage marks. The pen has a showroom finish with a clear barrel imprint and pristine gold filling. The original 'pli-glass' ink sac is unstained, always a good sign of careful sparing use. The cap is a smooth screw fit, it tightens securely with one and a half turns and carries a green cap jewel.
The pen has been fully serviced and tested. The aerometric filling system is easy to use and works well. The correct 14Ct. Gold No. 35 nib writes with a smooth, medium line and has a slightly 'soft' action. It writes with virtually no pressure and is a very comfortable and 'easy' writer.
The Duofold Senior is a very large pen, 16.3 cm. (well over 6 inches), in length when posted for use. It is well balanced and has a solid, high quality feel.
The Parker box is also in excellent, clean condition.
The Senior topped the line up of the Duofold aerometric models until the introduction of the Maxima. It is now very collectable and not at all easy to find in such great condition, the green pens particularly so.
