The enormous number of pens made by Omas also includes a series of hard rubber and celluloid pens marked
“Parker.”
Some degree of mystery is still attached to the real story behind these pens: it remains unclear if these Duofold Streamline was made under license to the US company or were clandestine imitations.

The measures are the same as SPECIAL STREAMLINE, but the clip is bigger, how the ball and the engraving seems more pronounced.

Duofold experts, how know about this DUOFOLD FABBRICATO IN ITAIA that D.Shepherd & D.Zazove not mentioned any news on their book ?

Your opinion and news on will be much appreciated

Hi Fabbale,

Nice photos and great pen!

I have never seen a Parker Duofold with Italian markings. I had no idea any were made there, though I suppose it is possible pens from elsewhere were so marked for reasons of politics or sales needs.

That is a very nice find.

regards

david
