Hi all

Just got this one in the post today, all the way from America via eBay, and yes I paid too much for it I know £150.

Anyway as Parker made variations of this model I was wondering if anyone would be able to help narrow down when it was probably made.

The details are

139mm long capped so I assume its a senior

Cap is 16mm in Diameter

Body imprint says

G.O.S. Parker Duofold Fountain Pen
Janesville. WIS, Lucky Curve U.S.A Pat. 4-25-11

Clip is marked PAT.SEPT, 5-16 PARKER

Nib is Marked PARKER DUOFOLD 0192293 MADE IN U.S.A.

Any ideas on when this one was made I am guessing around 1926.

And more importantly did I over do it with my bidding when I paid £150 for a fully working example, it didn't even need a new sac, so that must have been done not too long ago.

Thanks for anh help with this

Paul

I don't think you paid too much. I see higher prices for pens that aren't as good as this one. I think 1926 is right.

My Camera is not much cop at close up work so these are crops of a larger image, hope they are good enough.
