Today I bought my first Duofold, a jade green one!! Now I just have to wait for it to come in the mail. I'm so excited!!!!

Wonderful pen! Do you know what size? International or Centenial.

I've got an international mosaic that I adore.. Sturdy writers!

It's a vintage one- a senior.

Very nice and even better!

The Duofold Seniors are wonderful pens! Congrats.

I'll post a pic if you want me to when I get it. I should have it by the end of this week.

A great choice. The original nibs are large and write well. Enjoy your purchase and please do post a picture or two when you get it.

That's great. I am waiting for my first duofold also. Modern Duofold blue marbled.

I bought a Duofold and am not sure it is filling properly. It's a button-filler, right? Is there a trick to filling it? I don't see any air bubbles coming out. This is my first Duofold and first button-filler. Thanks.

Sound like it might be a problem with the filling system, I only have one Duofold Button filler (a Junior or possibly a Lady Duofold, anyway it's quite small) and this expels bubbles when put in ink or water and pressed and takes a reasonable volume of ink given it's small size.

Thanks, AndyK - I bought it in another town & was told it was in working order, but it's not. At least I know now that it SHOULD expel bubbles when it's taking up ink. Thanks again - this is my first button filler so I'm still learning about them.

I have two senior duofolds, one big red from 1923 and a lapis lazulis from 1927 and they are very good writers.

Well my Duofold came in the mail today and it's nearly perfect except some barrel discoloration, and a very small scratch. But I can't get the section out of the barrel, it's a Streamline and I'm not sure if those are threaded or not? Can anyone give me some advice please. I've tried using a heat gun to loosen it up and that didn't work.

Pictures,we want to see pictures.

Tomorrow. My internet is to slow to up load them tonight. Stupid dial up.

Here's some pics. I don't have any without the cap off since the section and the nib are out right now...

That green duofold is very nice.

Thanks. Luckily all I have to do to it is replace the ink sac, which I'm having troubles finding since I don't want to put a latex one it in.
