Duofold International Lapis Blue GT Fountain Pen

Duofold Centennial is a lovely pen. The Lapis Lazuli acrylic is more opaque than other acrylics with this much motion in them, which gives is a very unique, almost flat, look. The cap is topped with a trapezoidal finial into which is inset a gold-colored metal medallion with a lovely, vintage-feeling medallion.

The cap twists on very smooth threads to reveal a black acrylic section and a very attractive 18k gold nib. This is a cartridge/converter pen, and uses Parker’s proprietary system (which will also work with Aurora-branded cartridges and converters). The section’s tenon is metal, and so this pen is not a candidate for eyedroppering.
