Big Red

Parker Duofold Big Red was produced from 1921 through the 1940's.
A fountain pen is a beautiful thing, and the Big Red is one worthy of being pampered and driven. The owner of a pen he cherishes does not want another to write with it because a stranger's hand can alter and distort the angle of the nib. When the owner writes with the virgin pen he and the pen share an alchemical energy that is like no other. How can this personal stroke be described? The hand and the pen become part of the same flow through a highly creative and intimate type of expression.
If you have ever owned a virgin pen, you know the value of such a flow.
