Help Identifying Parker Pen

[Nyea]

Hi

 

This is my first time posting on this forum so i hope i have put this in the right section of the forum, i have recently been asked by a work colleague to identify a Parker pen she has, that she got around 1950, i was wondering if anybody could help me with this.

 

Thanks

That looks very much like a Parker Duofold

Looks like a 1950s English Parker Duofold indeed.

 

Check the barrel with a magnifying glass: these pens had an original imprint but it might be worn away and difficult to see.

 

You can find more info on these pens here:

Thanks for all the replies, i have just had a look on the barrel and indeed there is an imprint that is so faint i mistook it for scratches! the imprint says Parker Lady which i gather is why the pen is so small and ladylike!

Nice that you found traces of an imprint. Most likely, the barrel imprint also includes "Made in England".

The English Parker Duofold Lady was indeed a very small pen, designed for small hands and/or small purses ...

According to the website cited above this pen was introduced in 1958 and it was produced until the end of the 1960s.

Yes indeed it does say "Made in England" on the barrel, i shall have a look at the website for any future queries.

 

thanks

Hello, I jump on this topic, because I have since 25 years a Parker FP, but don't know the type.

BTW, I'm newbie here!

This pen with striking nib is a Parker "Classic". It is the 1980s successor of the Parker "180".
