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. 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.
