I really like the style of the modern duofolds. I have about 40 of them in my personal collection.

MKI Godrons Sterling Silver - very comfortable to write with, and outstanding design! 10 years among my favourite pens.

Oh, they get a lot of use - very nice writers as are all of the Duofolds - far from being just ornamental..

here are my modern Duofold pens. Most of them are fountain pens.

I do have all the original boxes (and certificates for the LEs) but for storage, they are in these trays.

Nice collection!

 

I was more selective in my acquisition of Duofolds but your collection does remind me of my Parker 75 collection!

Fantastic!

How many years does it take to build such a collection?

Easy - either a short time and a voluminous wallet, or a longer time with more lurking and significantly less money.

The more money, the less waiting. Just.like restoring old motorcycles.

Stunning photos

I’m collecting pens for many years now and have a lot of them (also other models and other brands).

I bought my first Duofold in 2001. It was a black limited edition (Parker 75 jaar in Nederland).

Wow, Great thread. Great Images!! Great collections!!

 

Thank-you all for the pleasure of viewing such a wonder Pen....The Parker Duofolds...

 

(PS: I prefer the old style dufolds..but they are ALL wonderful to view)

I finally bought a Duofold FP - I have quite a few Duofold ball points (marble blue, marble green, black, and my favourite the original lapis lazuli finish).

A very nice and superbly made Centennial Big Red with a fine nib found its way to me via massdrop.

The nib was super smooth and reasonably wet but I just couldn't get used to a fine nib. After thinking about it for a week I've sent it off to parker to swap for a broad nib.

Photos when it's back and I'm desperately hoping I haven't made a mistake.

My meager collection of Centennial sized Duofolds. A new Big Red F nib, a Blue Chevron F nib, and a Greenwich in a M nib. I also recently aquired a Centennial Nib unit with MI nib. It is the older style arrow nib, but it fits all three of these pens, Wrong trim for the Big Red and wrong material for the Blue Chevron. I am looking forward to playing around with the nib whichever pen I use it on.
