hallo,

 

De duofold die u heeft is een pen uit de duofold serie die gemaakt is van 1989 tot 1995.

De code IIA betekend 3e kwartaal (juli - augustus - september) 1992.

En zoals alle duofolds werd ook deze pen in Engeland geproduceerd.

 

Zoal ik kan zien op de foto, is dit een prachtig exemplaar.

Duofolds hebben een aantal zwakke puntjes maar voor zover ik kan zien heeft deze daar geen last van.

 

tip: ik gebruik in mijn duofolds altijd zwarte waterman inkt uit een inktpotje met een converter, deze inkt geeft een mooie diep zwarte lijn en vloeit goed.

 

veel plezier met de pen, dit type blijft een mooie verschijning.

The last line of this translation:

much fun with the pen, this type remains an attractive appearance

is better translated as:

 

Lots of pleasure with this pen, it is an attractive example.

 

(IMHO of course...........)

I have this pen, love the weight and balance, but unfortunately i prefer an extra fine nib (has a fine nib) so I don't use it much.

My pen and my Omega makes a great pair

HI GJC.. Your “AII” Duofold would likely be second quarter 1992 Just yesterday I posted a similar question how to understand Duofold date codes .. A true kind FPN member “ Doug” has answered me with a very comprehensive reply.. I copy you his reply related to Duofold Date codes ;

Q - 0

U - 1

A - 2

L - 3

I - 4

T - 5

Y - 6

P - 7

E - 8

N - 9

 

III - first quarter

II - second quarter

I - thrid quarter

none - fourth quarter

 

By the way, I have a similar gold plated one like yours in my collection since couple of years, may I ask approx price for this pen at the moment? I seldom see it anywhere..

Best regards

Personally I find the Mosaic more stunning. I am not that fond of the plated duofolds. The nicest one, according ro my opinion, is the Pearl & Black Centennial ...

Take care Parker Lovers.

I also have 2 of this series: a fountain pen with an XF nib, and a rollerball loaded with a black fine refill. They are some of my best pens.
