Since it was introduced in 1921, the Parker Duofold has been a favorite for generations of pen lovers. A new take on this classic model, the Duofold Prestige Chevron Centennial features a lacquer body with a laser-etched chevron pattern on the barrel and cap Read More
I have a couple of these, and while I have a very strong bias, I can offer this: The Prestige Duofolds like this are substantial pens; they're heavy but with good balance; PARKER does make their nibs, at the factory they share with Waterman in Nantes, France. The process and equipment are identical to what PARKER has used for decades; PARKER offers the Prestige Chevron in just two colors (blue and black, as here), while other versions of Duofold are available, they are resin, not the metal used on these. Resin or metal, they're all large, substantial pens but these definitely feel heavier. Hope this helps.
dedalianAhh yes, the Burgundy Prestige. Both the Burgundy and another Prestige, called Ruthenium, have not been widely available ... although I see that Amazon has 1 or 2 of each. No idea why they're not a part of this drop, but my suggestion is: if you find one you like at the right price ... get it. As I wrote earlier, metal Duofolds are the exception.
CraigLewisDuofolds ARE a nice pens; encrusting them with rhinestones or any other forms of bling doesn't make them nicer--certainly not superior in any way to the versions YOU referred to as "pretty blah".
