The Parker Duofold Junior Aerometric is misnamed in one respect. 'Junior' suggests a small pen but, at 15.8cm. when posted for use, it is a very long and elegant pen.
The Junior, along with the other Duofold Aerometrics, was produced in four solid colours: red, black, blue and green, with green being, by far, the least common.
Fully serviced and tested, this is a fine example showing little sign of use. It has an excellent finish with a clear barrel imprint:
Parker
Junior Duofold 6.
Made in England
It is odd that this model is sometimes stamped as this pen but it is also seen as just 'Junior' and others simply 'Duofold'. They are also rarely date stamped, this one has a date code for the third quarter of 1966.
The Gold filling to the clip and chevron decorated cap band is also pristine. The cap is a smooth screw fit, tightening with one and a quarter turns.
The 'Aerometric' filling system has a 'squeeze bar' arrangement, it is efficient and easy to use.
The original 14Ct. Gold Parker No.10 nib is straight and well aligned. It writes with a smooth medium line with a little 'give', It is a very comfortable and 'easy' writer.
English made Parker Duofolds have survived quite well because they are good pens. Nevertheless, it is rare to find one in such good condition, particularly in green.
