The original bold colour of the Parker Duofold - Big Red solidly put to the rest the belief that the public preferred their pens in black and set the stage for the widespread adoption of colour in pens that followed a few short years later. From the start, the Parker Duofold Big Red's disruptive, energetic colour stirred the interest of customers and remained the only available colour in the Parker Duofold range until black was introduced in 1923. The Big Red remains an emblematic pen in the Parker and Duofold history.

Authentic, with a sense of strenghth and excellence brought by opulent details and superior craftmanship, the Duofold collection captures the elegance of fine writing heritage with a contemporary touch. The Duofold collection is based on the era of Jazz and Art Deco and reflects the abundance and style of this time. It is a collection of writing instruments with exceptional character and outstanding design.

The fountain pen uses cartridges or a converter and has an 18 kt gold nib in two sizes (Fine or Medium). The Duofold pen is available in 3 sizes, the large ''Centennial'', classical ''International'', or the smaller ''Demi''.

Parker is over a century leader in design and production of the best pens in the world. These pens are not only fine writing instruments, they never let you down. Moreover they give status to every generation. This has resulted that Parker pens have become a style icon.

Review Title: Duofold Big Red (XF nib)

Review Add on: 08-06-2024
Average Rating: (5)

I am a big fan of Parker fountain pens, and this is my third Duofold pen. This pen is a wet, smooth writer, just like the Duofold Centennial Blue Chevron (F) and Classic Black (M) models that I own. With Duofold, I have never experienced skipping issues that I suffer from with some European premium brand pens. However, the XF nib is a bit thicker than I expected (comparable to somewhere between Japanese F and M), but it is thin enough to handle my daily memos, including some Chinese letters with lots of strokes.

Overall, this pen is classy and well-made, and with confidence I would recommend it to anybody looking for a pleasant writing experience.

Pen is marvellous. Very pleased with the example I received. My only wish would be that it came with the larger gift box that is pictured alas the box isn't what really matters. Thanks!

The Big Red is the classic model of the flagship line of Parker fountain pens. It’s got nearly a century of history behind it. The proportions of the pen are classic and very comfortable. For most people, I would recommend getting Centennial model, which is the larger sized pen; the International model is the slightly smaller model for those who prefer that. The gold nib is smooth with just a little flex. Ink flow is good but not a gusher, so there are no issues with drying time. What I also really like about the Duofold pens is that you can buy different width nibs for it fairly easily. The nibs come with the feed, housing, and the upper portion of the pen barrel, so you can switch nibs very easily.

A beautiful, iconic fountain pen. Retro Orange and black color. Parker knows fountain pens. This is a very reliable writer. The size is perfect for me. High quality construction with a solid feel. Expensive, but worth the cost for me. A worthy addition to any pen collection. The Appelboom purchase experience is excellent, as usual.

I had been admiring this pen for quite some time. Finally took the plunge. Very happy. Smooth, fine nib. Excellent pen. Wish that they would use another service for delivery. DHL delivery was fraught with problems.

This pen was on my list fir a while but never thought it’s that good, I purchased the large size and the pen is just amazing, the size, the weight, the balance and top of all the incredibly smooth nib, what a pleasure to write with, and that classic look just perfect ! I would say this is a must for any serious pen lover.

The Parker Duofold Centennial is an excellent pen. I chose the Big Red example for its size, vibrant colour, classic design, and awesome nib.
I am very happy with this option - It writes beautifully, and is properly balanced.
I might just get another one. Hahaha!!

Review Title: A premium Parker

Review Add on: 24-06-2019
Average Rating: (5)

Unlike other Parker pens, the Duofold is a class apart and offers unique writing experience. It is comparable to any premium luxury pen, be it a Mont Blanc or Pelikan or Aurora. The 18K nib though not very soft, offfers unique writing experience. Its a must have in your collection.

Review Title: Nice classic design pen

Review Add on: 01-04-2019
Average Rating: (4)

The delivery is fast and accurate, and the contents didn't disappoint neither!
My Duofold Big Red Centennial is a medium nib, might be too broad for some but I deem a good fit to this rather sizable pen and nib. I'm quite used to larger pens and it fits well, feels somewhat between a Pelikan M800 and M1000 (closer to the latter) unposted in my hand. The resin feels thick and solid, plus a sense of polished-ness not seen on either a M1000 or FP149. Writes smooth and wet.
