Happy to see MD finally able to source the Parker Duofold, a pen I've often mentioned in these discussions, and one that I say beats the pants off Pelikan's M8xx series, especially in the nib department. MD's price is very good and Parker offers a great selection of colors to chose from. If I were you (and I didn't already own two Parker Duofolds) I wouldn't hesitate to jump on this drop ASAP--we have no way of knowing how many of each color are available, or even how many total pens are available!

RayFHappy to see the Parker expert speak out. Color preference? Thanks for the recommendation. It would be a nice fit to my fountain pen entry 25 years ago.

HughieSaw later your thoughts on color. Got it. Red it is. I have too many blacks now.

HughiePretty sure Parker includes the converter (both of mine came with one). Otherwise, you can order them here: https://www.amazon.com/PARKER-Fountain-Converter-Standard-S0050300/dp/B00135JVKQ They press into the section and fill by twisting the piston handle.

RayFExcellent. Thanks for you very informative and detailed help. I did get the red centennial on Amazon prime. 2 days no customs. I'll let you know how it behaves. Thanks again.

HughieDang, that is unfortunate. Would've liked to have added a Big Red or Blue/Black to my meager collection.
