The  Gold filling to the clip and decorated cap band is pristine.  The clip is secured by a colour coded 'jewel'. The original 'pli-glss' ink sac is clear and unstained, always a sign of little, careful use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pen is in mint condition throughout and is presented in it's original Parker box. the box is claean and sound, a very light stain on the outide of the lid is the only indication that the pen has been used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original, correct, No. 25 14Ct. Gold nib is straight and well aligned.  It  writes with a wonderfully smooth broad line, well suited to someone with large, bold handwriting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Parker Aerometric Duofolds of the 1950s were excellent writing instruments which sold very well, despite the competition from the ballpoint.  Parker probably under-priced the pen in order to resist the pressure.  Over seventy years later the pen is still outstanding value, particularly when compared with a new Gold nibbed pen of similar quality.  It would make a very good vintage daily writer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collectablepens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58530664972672,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/4239\/files\/P1200164.jpg?v=1784975606","url":"https:\/\/collectablepens.co.uk\/products\/parker-u-k-duofold-1956-broad-nib-mint-condition","provider":"Collectablepens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
