Is Parker Duofold Discontinued?

[Alson]

A pen shopkeeper tell me the Duofold is discontinued, is it ture???

[Ceelo]

I sincerely hope not. Which shopkeeper did you get your information from?

I just looked at Parker's website and they certainly seem to have Duofolds for sale.

Maybe that particular store is no longer carrying them, or has stopped being an authorized Parker dealer? That's the only thing I can think of....

Hello and welcome to FPN.

 

I don't think it is true.

I was told by a shopkeeper of Parker counter in Hong Kong, I hope it is not ture. I love duofold and have kept two already, they are very good in writting.

Just more FUD.

The Duofolds are available in at least two stationery shops that I visited lately in my city. And I did not hear there were any plans for discontinuing these by Parker.

I heard the same on a french fountain pen forum... I hope it's not true

On the french version of the Parker website, they have already removed the blue and the ivory model.

Maybe they stop the classic Duofolds in resin and keep the prestige metal models ?

I hope not, I love my International models and I plan to buy other colours

I would imagine the resin ivorine and navy blue would be slow sellers and likely part of a range rationalization done by Parker since this design has been out for some time. Pretty normal part of business I guess, the parker site would indicate that too and not the entire range being dropped. Does this mean the collectors will go crazy for these two colours and jack up the price?
