The Parker Duofold Senior aerometric filler was only produced from 1954 until 1958, a relatively sort production run, always good for collectors. The barrel carries a code dating this pen to the second quarter of 1956.
The pen is finished in classic black with a Gold filled, chevron engraved cap band and Gold filled clip. It is in excellent condition with a first class surface and bright gold filling. The cap is a smooth screw fit, it tightens securely with one and a quarter turns and carries a black 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 is much larger than the standard Duofold nib and writes with a smooth broad to medium line with no pressure needed, 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 classic black and gold combination was very popular as it conveyed a distinguished, understated presence.
The box is new, it will serve well for transportation, protection, and display.
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 excellent condition.
