Description
Long before there were internet controversies about the color of a dress, there was the Parker Duofold “Big Red.” Since being introduced in the 1920’s, debate has raged about whether this pen is red or in fact orange.
However you label it, this is one of the classics of fountain pen design. Each pen is carefully hand-manufactured at the Parker facility in Saint-Herblain, near Nantes.
Our complimentary nib tuning tests each pen and adjusts the ink flow and optimum pressure to your own personal specifications. The Fine nib is excellent for everyday writing and note-taking, while the Medium can be modified to customizations such as Stub, Cursive Italic, and Left Oblique. Those preferring a finer line can choose our regrinds to Extra Fine or Needlepoint.
The Parker Duofold is a cartridge-converter pen. It comes supplied with a proprietary Parker ink converter, which allows it to fill using any bottled fountain pen ink. It can also use convenient Parker brand ink cartridges, which provide a high capacity equal to that of many piston-fill pens.
All pens are sourced directly from the manufacturer – we are an authorized Parker retailer.
