1940 Parker Striped Duovac/Duofold

[Linkinyeah]

This model is from 1940 and I believe it was referenced as the Ingenue model. This model has the options that were only offered from 1940 to 1942. These options include, the 3 bands on the cap. The blind cap girdle and the aluminum speedline filler. Since I am a history nerd, I thought it was interesting to note it originally cost $8.75 in 1940, which equates to $154.20 today.

I believe collectors call this color dusty rose. It measures 4 5/8 inches capped and 5 3/8 inches posted. The filler and nib have been serviced by Danny Fudge at thewritepen.net. The nib was missing the tipping material on one of the tines, so I had Danny grind the nib down to a usable surface. It writes smooth and has some flex. The barrel has transparency left to it. This pen is in good condition and would make a great spot in a Parker collection, which is what my intention was for it, but a last minute vacation popped up.

The feed says A on the back of it, but was too hard to show in the pictures. The A is near the section. I tried to get a good picture of the imprint, but it is much easier to see in person and is all there. The picture makes it look like the middle is rubbed out, but it is not. I hope my pictures don't get downsized when I upload through my phone. Let me know if you desire other pictures or information.

I am asking $75 shipped USPS First Class. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170731/6017a7590162436d220b35c5cf84b984.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170731/d86806a3aff092aa1013b0bb3fbfc92e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170731/d48da183cfe02b42f69d37da4148989b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170731/cb2af7a457a1f21808eafe0c028e68e8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170731/f63e13d1bd84256ad898d1b84a7b115e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170731/e6be46fb06bada19a8f9b302bfffed94.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170731/649abbde1728a7774c660468dd0ac50c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170731/78e2b3453c72a60a5d019480da1d6a05.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170731/6b2f78f257cf4ed3c22ccc566d230823.jpg

Yes, I too think it is a beautiful pen. The striped pattern is very appealing.

What grind is the nib?Danny didn't say what it was, only that he would make the nib usable and smooth. When I look at under a loop, it has a very subtle left foot oblique.
