English Parker Duofold Senior

[surprise123]

So I have recently purchased, not bid on, PURCHASED, a Parker Duofold UK Senior for $20. It has a 14k gold nib, gold filled furnishings, and black (resin/plastic?) body. It's an aerometric filler, the filler has been replaced or at least serviced because it shows very little wear. I was wondering, is this a good writer? Assuming it is a Parker Fine nib, does anyone have any experience with these nibs? It looks like a great workhorse AT HOME for the looks, overall feel of a pen like this, and the gold nib all point in that direction. Nib and feed are clean and intact, and it shows little sign of wear. I will post pics as soon as my device stops being so annoying and when the pen arrives in its glory.

 

The question here is: Is the UK Parker Duofold Senior a good writer?

 

 

 

 

I have been told this on a different thread, but I'm sorry if I wasted your time.

What number nib is on the pen?

 

Yes the Newhaven Duofolds are good writers. I love the nibs on these.

They are a great all rounder, and the Senior is a handsome good sized pen. Very little to go wrong, the only thing that comes to mind is possible cracking on the lip of the cap and the tines may go a little bit out of alignment but its no big deal to put them right.

 

Nibs have a little give to them, flex is too strong a word, they are perfect as a daily user.

 

The body work is quite a soft plastic and responds very well to a polish.

 

No need to apologise on wasting time, it is never a waste of anyone's time if you learn a little.
