I sincerely hope not. Which shopkeeper did you get your information from?

I just looked at Parker's website and they certainly seem to have Duofolds for sale.

Maybe that particular store is no longer carrying them, or has stopped being an authorized Parker dealer? That's the only thing I can think of....

Just more FUD.

The Duofolds are available in at least two stationery shops that I visited lately in my city. And I did not hear there were any plans for discontinuing these by Parker.

I heard the same on a french fountain pen forum... I hope it's not true :unsure:

On the french version of the Parker website, they have already removed the blue and the ivory model.

Maybe they stop the classic Duofolds in resin and keep the prestige metal models ? :unsure:

I hope not, I love my International models and I plan to buy other colours :wub:

I would imagine the resin ivorine and navy blue would be slow sellers and likely part of a range rationalization done by Parker since this design has been out for some time. Pretty normal part of business I guess, the parker site would indicate that too and not the entire range being dropped. Does this mean the collectors will go crazy for these two colours and jack up the price?

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
