Parker Duofold Streamline Special, Coral, Penol de Luxe Nib
Parker Duofold Streamline Special, Coral, Penol de Luxe Nib
This is a very clean Parker Duofold Streamline with a Penol de Luxe Nib.
The pen has been gently cleaned and polished by hand, and a new sack has been installed. It works and wrtites very well with a nice and even inkflow. The nib has some flex, but is fundamentally a fine.
Please note: Photos are taken with a macro lens, and thus they display details that are not visible to the eye. Sorry about the dust!
Colour - even and perfect coral red
Barrel and cap - beautiful with only very superficial scratches
Imprint - readable and with the Penol anchor logo indicating that the pen was imported and sold by the Danish pen company Penol
Blind caps - perfectly black and in great condition
Inscription - there is a discrete owner's inscription on the pen: "A. Jensen". See photo.
Nib and feed - feed original to the pen, I believe. Nib is a replacement made by Penol. It is a great and beautiful two-coloured nib coming from the "de Luxe" range of Penol pens. The Duofold has probably been in for repair in the late 30s or early 40s (the "de Luxe" line ran from 1936 - 1942) and been equiped with the Penol nib.
Trim - gold plate to the trim is very fine. Only ball of clip shows brassing.
Measurements - the pen is 12,5 centimetres long.
All in all - a great pen carefully restored to perfect functionality and looks. All parts original to pen (in a way also the replacement nib is part of this story of this anchor-marked Duofold Special).
