The Parker Duofold Junior, despite the name, is not a small pen by any means. At 15.8 cm., with the cap posted for use it is an extremely long and elegant pen, significantly longer than the standard Duofold.
Finished in blue, with Gold filled clip and decorated cap band, this is a fine example. The body and cap have an unmarked surface and the Gold trim is similarly pristine. The cap, which is a smooth screw fit, carries a blue end 'jewel'. The barrel imprint, identifying the pen as an English made Parker Junior Duofold, is clearly legible and complete.
The pen has been fully serviced and tested. The 'aerometric' squeeze bar filler works perfectly and is easy to use. The 14 Ct, Gold Parker no.10 nib is straight and well aligned with a clear imprint. It writes with a smooth, medium line, perhaps a little on the fine side.
At the moment the Parker Junior Duofold is much underrated but that is sure to change, particularly for a pen in such fine condition. It is not possible to identify a new pen with a Gold nib and of this quality and 'breeding' at anywhere near the price!
