Hi Guys
Just wondering? when did Duofolds get so small, its still supposed to be Parkers premium pen and the old US made version is quite a big beast, but the English made International I have taken delivery of is so small its almost unusable unless I post the cap.
The English Duofold AF is 12cm tip to tip and 15cm posted
The English International is 11cm tip to tip and also 15cm posted
I can write with the AF unposted but have to post the international before I can use it, and I don't have big hands either.
Just as a comparison my Montblanc 146 is 12.5cm tip to tip and 16cm posted
Its almost as if the Duofold has become a bit apologetic instead of the great statesman of a pen it should be.
When did they become so small.
