This large and handsome lever-filling
LAPIS BLUE pen is a bit of an enigma !

SOLD !

Very similar to one of those big Parker Duofolds,
it differs, in that the blind-cap
is also of the same material as the rest of the pen
It came to us (40 years ago) complete with the
Conway Stewart clip, BIG early Duro-style nib,
and without any barrel engraving.
We wonder if it might have been a prototype
for a never-issued Duro lever-filling model.

£145
