Question 1

How much does the pen itself weigh? Below, it says 12.3 ounces? Is that the pen alone or with the box?

Accepted Answer

The pen alone can't weigh more than a couple of ounces. Very light.

Question 2

Why are people paying nearly 600$ for a pen?

Accepted Answer

Hello curious pen buyer, Parker is a worldwide brand and the Parker Centennial Duofold Fountain Pen is their flagship pen. Meaning it is the premier product of the brand. Just like the F-150 is the premier product for Ford. It has a large 18 carat gold nib that comes in a variety of sizes like fine, medium and broad. It's a very large and heavy pen. When you see it in person it looks very expensive and elegant. It's a high quality product with a very recognizable brand name. It is not worth $600 US Dollars. I know I bought mine for about $400 US Dollars brand new from a reasonable seller. I think he regrets it because he doubled the price several months later. Whenever you buy a pen it is up to you to decide what price you are comfortable paying. I know some people who think paying $20 US Dollars for a fountain is crazy. I also think it's crazy to spend over $50,000 for a F-150 truck when you can buy a brand new SUV for half that price but the F-150 is the number one selling vehicle in America. So you can also say that the Parker Centennial Duofold is a status symbol as well. Just remember, when buying anything that is extravagant, is it worth it to spend that kind of money on a status symbol? Good luck on your pen adventures.....zaga zaga!!

Question 4

I like to sometimes sit on a rock and write poetry. It can get blustery.  Will the Duo work perfectly?

Accepted Answer

Using a fountain pen is a mater of comfort and loving the feeing of the nib moves smoothly on the paper. Writing with a fountain pen is usually slower then with other writing equipment since it more like painting the letters then just script it. When choosing a fountain pen you have to find the pen that fit your writing habits you have to find a nib that is soft or stiff according the way you writing, choose the nib width fine board or in between, choose the weight that you are comfort with and the pen diameter. After you will get use to a certain fountain pen you will be able to answer your question by yourself. I use fountain pens for more then forty years, use it at any condition.
