Parker Junior

[hatherton_wood]

Picked up another Parker Junior today in a pot of pens and I must say I'm really pleased with the way it writes - just like the previous example I found. The gold nib on these pens is excellent, very smooth with the right amount of flex - I think I prefer them to the 51 in the way that they write. Anybody else tried one?

Hi.

 

Can you clarify which pen is under discussion? "Junior" is used in so many contexts ;-)

Its actually marked Parker Junior on the barrell. Made in England

Well, i certainly cannot argue this is an imprecise use then :-)

 

English Parkers diverge significantly from USA-made pens. I fear i cannot comment on this model. Please do share a pic, if you could.

To our American friends not in the know, I'm guessing this is probably a Junior Duofold. The English Aerometric Duofold came in six sizes....Slimfold, Junior, Demi, Standard, Senior, Maxima.

 

I've not tried a Junior yet. Though probably will soon, as for some reason they're very reasonably priced. £10 to £15 should get you a good example. I do tend to use a Slimfold, and two Standards, and they do have great nibs. Well all the ones I've played with do!

 

As they're quite common here, I also reground the nib on one to a stub, which is my favourite at work this week.
