Description;

The Duofold Maxima was first introduced in 1958 at Parkers Newhaven Factory. It sits at the top of the tree as Parkers flagship Duofold. It is a wonderful writing instrument with a great deal of presence. It was a very sought after model but it came with a premium price tag and is therefore relatively rare. It was discontinued in 1962 so only had a production run of four years.

This example dates from around 1960. It is in excellent condition and is finished in blue with gold filled trim to the clip and cap ring. The cap and barrel are in very good condition with some light wear to the plating and some minor marks. It writes with a beautiful smooth Medium line and it uses the fabulously reliable aerometric filling system. It is fully serviced and ready to write.

The nib is the huge No.50, the biggest nib fitted to any of the Duofolds of that era. The key to a good example of a Maxima is the fins on the back of the feed, they are very delicate, so it is very common to see some of them missing. The fins on this example are all intact!!
