Is this a new Duofold? I've never seen it before, and today I spotted it on the Akkerman website. I don't understand Dutch, so I haven't got any idea what it is. Maybe it's a new model which is coming later this year? I hope so. I like the colour!

It looks like the Check designs that come in blue, green and red. Maybe widening the series? Looks nice anyway.

Oh, Lord! Nummy-nummy! That is one current production Duofold I can love. The only problem will be price. I wonder if Parker will declare it another synthetic LE and charge accordingly? - Cynicism. Sorry.

Dear FrankB,

 

FYI: it will be charged just as a 'normal' Duofold Check pen. The Dutch (and I assume European) prices will be according to the official price list:

 

Duofold

Duofold Centennial Check Fountain pen € 425,00

Duofold Check Fountain pen € 375,00

Duofold Check Roller € 375,00

Duofold Check Ballpen € 375,00

Duofold Mini Check Foutain pen € 375,00

 

I visited Akkerman Amsterdam yesterday. To buy fillings for my Visconti and to tease myself with my dream-pens: the Montblanc 'Karl the Great' and the Parker Duofold 'Snake' (both still available) :puddle:. We discussed the new Duofold Citrine. He told me he expects it to arrive in store in a month time.

 

I own some Duofolds (including my personal ALL-TIME favourite, the 'Cloisonne' :wub: :wub: ), but this new 'Citrine' version looks gorgeous already on photo :thumbup: !!!

I wonder if I will be strong enough not to buy it...

 

ENJOY writing :) !!

Yes, a new DUOFOLD CHECK, it will replace the GREEN CHECK, available in France in June, J.M.L.

 

The Green Check is my favorite of the three check patterns. It is hard to find a green pen. I guess I may have to get one a little sooner than I had planned. The Citrine is one good looking pen, though. Will there be any other new colors?

Yes, it will be the only new pattern, it will replace the green check which will be discontinued at the end of June, it will be immediately available in Medium and Fine nibs size, but all the others PARKER nibs sizes are available with a small delay to order them, J.M.L.

Hi Satrap,

Have hinted to the wife that I would like one of these for my birthday in a couple of weeks, unfortunatly the hints seem to be falling on deaf ears.

I know the feeling. My wife only ever gets me (Potty Mouth) presents costing less than $100. :bonk: :crybaby:

I will not rest until I have this pen this year! Simply a fabulous piece! :cloud9: :puddle:

Will it be available soon or is it available now?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
