Parker Junior Duofold Review


joshua bruno

Recommended Posts

Hello this is my first review so sorry if it isnt perfect but it try my best.

 

The parker junior duofold is a great and cheap pen. Idont think you can beat this for the money.

 

Value for money:

i bought my parker junior duofold off ebay for a mere £19 including postage. i was a bit curious with how good a pen that costs £20 would right but i was suprised. For £20 you get a simple but still classy looking pen made out of mostly plastic with a gold trim. when you walk through you come to a 14 carat gold nib. What a delight this nib is, this is such a smooth nib it reminds me of ice skating. I can honestly say no £20 pen will beat this one.

 

filling:

 

inside you will find an old aeromatic filler which is easy to use. just place the nib of the pen in a bottle of ink and squeeze the plastic thing at least five times and you have a full tank. I have found that the ink capacity is very good because i only fill up once i week when im at school not bad for 25hours of writing.

 

Writing experience/ nib:

 

as i said the nib is 14carat gold and is very plain. i got a medium and it is a true medium it isnt broad it isnt fine It IS MEDIIUM! this pen is a bit like susan boyle, you dont expect much but you get a lot more, its like seeing a nissan micra do 250mph, you dont expect this pen to write so well.

 

Conclusion:

 

i dont really care about looks thats why i havent included it in this review but if you are looking for a cheap pen that writes like a good mont blanc then this is the pen for you. if you want a pen that looks like katie price then this pen isnt for you.

 

Kind Regards

Josh

Hi,

 

Nice review as I have often said these are very underated pens (although the larger ones are commanding higher prices recently), I have about 15 in various sizes/colours a number of matching MPs and even a couple of BPs.

 

Glad you are enjoying the pen.

Thank you for the nice comment. I also agree that the pen is underated and i think the reason why is because when someone says a duofold they get in their mind £300. people need to know about this pen, the sooner they know about it the more happier fpners.

 

kind regards

Agree that these are great writers. A friend who always wants to try my newest acquisitions absolutely loved the Junior Duofold. I found another one and gave it to her. She still raves about it.

      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
