Parker Duofold Senior streamline De Luxe

[Seattleite]

Let me correct my post... My pen's barrel has standard late Duofold US markings, with the addition the Anchor logo. It is only the nib which has Penol. My pen has a clip with no lettering, seems closer to a Jr flat top diameter than Streamline. Don't know if it is original.

Wow, your pen is really eyecatching with the triple banded orange cap and boldly lettered clip! Your nib looks better than the one that I have, too. Nice length to the tines. Looks elegant

Thanks Bob, C/O Anchor mark like below? Also the feed is the Xmas tree type one but also has a slight mark on it, like a funnel mark. Have you seen any orange Duofold seniors with 3 bands. The only 3 band pics online are the ‘Moderne’ version Duofold which are all what seems to be in different colours.

Yes, my pen is marked the same as yours, with the Olsen anchor similarly placed .

I have heard that the Parker's service folks put a notch on the feed to indicate that the tail of the feed, the "Lucky Curve", had been cut off. This was done to allow the feed and nib to be driven ouit from the back. I have seen at least a couple of notched feeds with intact tails, so it is possible that the notch was also used by some to facilitate pulling from the front. in any event, the notch does not detract, IMO.

I don't recall ever seeing a US Parker Sr Deluxe in this color. Could make yours a pretty interesting "export only" variant.
