This is a lovely vintage 1950s Parker Duofold fountain pen in burgundy (deep red) finish, proudly Made in England.

This classic English Duofold (probably a Junior size based on the No.10 nib) is in good overall condition for its age – a highly collectible piece from the post-war era when Parker UK produced these iconic aerometric-fill pens with exposed 14k gold nibs.

Key features & condition details:

• Colour: Rich burgundy red barrel and cap – vibrant and glossy with the classic Parker sheen (no major fading)
• Nib: 14k gold No.10 nib (Parker England marking) – smooth writer known for reliable flow and a pleasant medium-to-broad line (untested recently but appears clean; vintage nibs often benefit from a gentle clean/flush before first use)
• Imprint: Crisp barrel inscription reads "Parker Duofold Made in England" alongside the iconic gold-coloured Parker arrow/pen symbol (see photos for clarity)
• Trim: Gold-coloured accents and clip in good order – no significant plating loss
• Length: Approximately 133mm capped (perfect everyday size – not too large, not too small)
• Filling system: Aerometric (squeeze-style sac) – reliable and easy to maintain
• Condition highlights: Normal vintage patina and signs of use from decades ago (minor surface marks/scuffs consistent with careful handling – no cracks, chips, deep scratches or major damage to barrel/cap). No major dents, no brass showing through trim, no cap cracks or loose sections. The pen presents very well overall and remains a handsome display or usable writer for enthusiasts.

This 1950s English Duofold is prized for its quality craftsmanship, smooth writing experience, and timeless design – a favourite among fountain pen collectors who appreciate the post-1940s UK production run (distinct from earlier US models or modern reissues).

No original box or paperwork included, but the pen will be packaged with care.
