This is the Senior in Sea Green and Pearl: green and white pearl celluloid striped through with translucent veins, considerably more vivid in person than the more commonly surviving Lapis or Burgundy. The 18ct nib stamp and Canadian 'Pen 18ct Canada' marking place this in the late 1944 Canadian run, when Parker Canada still pushed export pens into the French market. US production ran from 1929 through 1933–1934. Canadian production carried the design into the late 1940s, and the Canadian and English nibs from this window tend to be the bouncier of the two. This example follows that trend. The #2 lays a 0.35mm fine baseline that opens to 1.80mm at 330g Super Flex pressure, a clean 5.1× line variation with a slight cursive italic character built into the tipping (0.35mm horizontal hairlines, 0.50mm vertical downstrokes). The Christmas-tree feed runs wet and keeps up with the snapback. This nib rewards a relaxed grip and shows off ink saturation on fountain-pen-friendly paper. Complete celluloid restoration, with the barrel and cap deinked back to original color. Ebonite blind cap and collar restored. Nib and feed tuned for flow at full deflection. Button-filling mechanism rebuilt with fresh latex sac and tested with water. Tested on Rhodia 90gsm ivory with Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heron's Mooncake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46860608635068,"sku":"HM2602011","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/7435\/7948\/files\/DSC02513.jpg?v=1779492767","url":"https:\/\/heronsmooncake.com\/products\/parker-duofold-senior-streamline-sea-green-and-pearl-celluloid-gpt-6-18k-flex","provider":"Herons Mooncake","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
