Description from Nathaniel

Grail pen is a term that gets tossed around too easily these days, but a bandless, orange-hard-rubber Parker Duofold Senior in mint-to-near-mint condition is highly desirable for serious vintage pen collectors. Our specimen is stunning. No cracks nor scratches. Crisp milling on the end caps. Crisp imprint, though the bottom two lines are shallower than the bold "Duofold" portion that seems to be a double-die error! The only "flaw" is that the barrel covered by the cap when properly closed is a shade darker than the rest of the pen. Our bandless Parker Duofold has been fully restored with a new ink sac. The 14k gold nib features a "Christmas tree" inkfeed. You will write a firm, extra-fine line with feedback. Yet, we suspect that this museum piece won't likely be used for much writing.
