It is one heavy pen! I have turned several of these over the years. Although I prefer the O.S. Balance in solid copper, the Parker Sr. Duofold makes a bold statement. I placed an arrow Centennial into this pen and built a section that accepts a sac rather than a converter. Therefore it is a traditional button filler. I have built several Sr. Duofolds that can be used with a converter or a traditional sac. The section looks just like a vintage but is modified inside to accept either option.

 

Beautiful heavy pen.

Sweet Mother Machree! Those are really beautiful works of art. Going button filler over converter was a wonderful touch :thumbup:

Hope it corrodes. I mean to develop a patina. Just love to see this beauty in copper green.

Why don't you just purchase the one that the "leaded glass" industry uses? It does a beautiful instant job of producing the patina.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Absolutely beautiful pens. Particularly the OS Balance. Sure wouldn't want one of those in my pocket if there was lightening in area. :yikes:

Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?" Patrick Henry

Those pens are unique and beautiful. No words can do them justice.

Hi!

 

I am the proud owner of that Duofold that Chris made for me. I'm just showing what time and usage made to the pen, oxidating it a little bit, making it even more beautiful, in my opinion.

I'm really happy with the pen!
