Date Help Please

[Actor-out-on-loan]

FRN Freinds;

I was wondering if you could help date this Parker. It was described at purchase time as a Black ring top Parker Duofold with little other information. However it came with a box, original instructions etc. I did search by the number indicated on the box with no luck. The barrel simply reads GEO.S.PARKER-PEN-MADEINU.S.A. / PATENTED.... So it is time to turn to the experts here. Please have a look, and express thoughts. Thanks.

 

 

Thanks all / ~Actor~

OK, I'd say 1929. It's slightly streamlined and is in what Parker called Raven Black Permanite. Nice to have it with all the papers. Good luck.

I'd also say 1929-1930. Some more - but not extensive - info here: https://parkerpens.net/dq.html
