The Parker Duofold was made, in Denmark, by the Olsen company under licence from Parker. This pen is very unusual in that the barrel imprint reads simply:
'New Parker Duofold'
'M.I.D.'
It is an Aerometric filler, introduced in the U.K. in 1953, the extremely rare 'New Duofold' imprint suggests that this is a very early pen. 'M.I.D.' signifies 'Made in Denmark'
The pen has been serviced and tested and is in excellent working condition. It has a first class surface, clear imprint, and pristine Gold filling.
The 14Ct. Gold Duofold nib carries a 'D' imprint, a Danish product. It writes with a smooth, medium line and has a very pleasing 'soft' feel with just a suggestion of flex, a very easy writer.
In addition to the imprints, the pen differs from the English made Duofold Standard in that, when posted it is significantly longer at 15.3 cm., a good sized pen.
The high quality box is new, it will serve well for transportation, protection, and display.
The Danish production Parker Duofolds are hard to find. A pen with this imprint is a highly collectable rarity.
