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'
along with a 'star' imprint and the Christian Olsen anchor logo. Finished in classic black and gold, it is a distinguished pen with a good deal of presence.
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.
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, a Danish product, writes with a medium to broad line and has a very pleasing flex.
In addition to the imprints, the pen differs from the English made Duofold Standard in that, when posted it is significantly longer at 15.5 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.
