Red With Orange Speckles Duofold

[Silviu]

Hi,

I'm wondering if this is a legit Duofold as I've never seen this color.

I'm a bit suspicious because there is no imprint on barrel.

It has a Doufold nib but a later Vac feed.

Thanks,

Well, after reading a bit about British Duofolds, I think I have an educated guess.

The nib reads "Parker Duofold / 14K/ Pen/ N". As I have read, N stands for Newhaven, so the nib is British.

Also the pen is streamlined and in the UK only the streamlined version of the Duofold was produced before 1946 when the NS (New Style) was introduced.

In the UK some unusual colors were used, so this part also fits in.

Last thing is the lack of imprint which I can only attribute to a thorough barrel buffing....

How about a picture of the top of the cap. Clip doesn't seem to fit.

 

A picture without the blind cap and a what does the pressure bar look like.

 

Another shot of the section out of the pen would be of value.

 

I don't like jumping to a highly buffed barrel obliterating the imprint.

Here are some more and better pictures. I hope they will help. Thanks!

All the parts look right for a Newhaven produced streamline Duofold. I've seen the feed used on other button fillers.
