Parker's iconic "Big Red" was a huge success back in the 1920s, but entering the 2020s most surviving examples tend to have condition issues as well as later replacement parts. These Duofolds (and one Jack-Knife precursor) are notably well preserved.
14428: Parker 25½ Jack-Knife Safety: oversize black chased hard rubber screw-cap button-filler, 13.5 cm long, slightly shorter than a Duofold Senior, but markedly thicker. Bold imprints and strong chasing, hard rubber dark and glossy, intact Lucky Curve feed. Earlier production with raised barrel threads, cap imprint, slightly domed cap top, and original riveted pressure bar. Near mint but for light toothing to cap top milling, tipping on #5 Lucky Curve nib is present but somewhat draggy.
