The few upscale ballpoints I have are all Cross pens. I was given a Parker ballpoint pen many years ago as a gift from an employer and always admired the design. I went online recently to see if Parker still had that type of pen that has the retractable press type mechanism on top with thick barrel. It turns out they don't, BUT, there it was, the same thick retractable pen but with a twist top for the ink point instead of the press type. It was beautiful. It was called the Duofold Medium. The price was breathtaking though. Whoa. I decided to gift myself with it and am glad I did. This pen is gorgeous. OK, I kinda went a bit crazy and ordered two more (that's it though, I cannot afford all this). These pens are, as stated in my headline, like Rolex watches. They're made in France. The twist top for retracting the ballpoint itself is smooth and feels solid. I now have the silver metallic, the blue with gold and the black with chrome. The downside is I really like the BOLD refills but this comes with MEDIUM. I happened to find online a German Parker type ballpoint pen refill maker that sells BOLD in both BLUE and BLACK. It's the Schmidt P900 B refill. I ordered both the BLUE and BLACK and it works perfectly with this pen. I'm totally happy now with my three dependents. If you love to write and like a hefty feeling heavy quality gorgeous ballpoint pen, get this. Cherish it. Take care of it. This is NOT your everyday pen. Losing it or getting it "borrowed forever" would certainly not be a good thing. I love this pen. BTW, make sure you order the model that comes with a medium black point (which, as I stated, can be swapped out for the Schmidt BOLD) because the ballpoint Duofold that comes with a FINE point has a cap instead of the twist top. Not my style...more to lose...so, in summation, if you love ballpoint pens and take care of your things, get this. Style wise, quality wise, heft wise, THIS is the best I've found (also one of the most expensive but quality isn't cheap). Now, I must write a grocery shopping list...where'd I leave my pen.... Review: A Face Lift to a Favorite - When I bought my first Duofold ballpoint, it was a drastic change from the models offered by Parker. The Premier and 75 were great pens but a little slender for my hands. I saw a demonstration of its construction at a local pwn shop and thwre was an introductory offer of just under $100. It was a beautiful blue variegated/marble resin. I even had it personalized on the top of the cap. Parker even offered to reink the initials on the crown for 10 years at no charge. It has, in my opinion gracefully aged, but it was time for a change, not just for the material used on the barrel and trim, but a face lift. The redesigned Duofold loses the art deco and earlier styles in favor of a more modeen tratment of the pen. But, one thing that did not change was the stylish Duofold trademark embedded on the Big Red version. That brings you back to its origins and the Ace motto on the crown is also a throwback to the earlier era. I chose the most traditional look of the updated line. The nickel-palladium trim works well woth the pen. The older version used gold, but I loke this chpice of metal bettwr. The pen wprks great and the mechanism o To extend and retrack the refill works tine (a sore spot for some of the earlier Duofold ballpoints). There are a wide variety of matwrials being used with is pen, perhaps more appealing to a new customer. It is a great pen to use every day. My own personal wish is ro have the sterling silver cisele finish be added. It is my favorite from Parker. Hopefully someone from the manufacturer will read this review. ## Features - Emblem of the Parker tradition of quality craftsmanship since 1921 - Solid red precious resin barrel with laser etching and palladium-finished trims - Retractable twist mechanism - Medium ballpoint tip; black ink - Presented in a luxury gift box ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B015N3Q4EY | | Additional Features | Refillable, Retractable | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #362,843 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #9,908 in Ballpoint Pens | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand Name | Parker | | Closure Type | Retractable | | Color | red vintage - palladium trim | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (186) | | Drill Point | Medium | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03501179313795 | | Grip Type | Smooth | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Included Components | Ballpoint Pen, Black Ink Refill, Luxury Gift Box | | Ink Base | Hybrid | | Ink Color | Black,Red | | Item Dimensions | 7.48 x 4.72 x 1.81 inches | | Item Weight | 33 Grams | | Line Size | 0_5mm | | Manufacturer | Newell Rubbermaid Office | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Name | ball point pen | | Model Number | 1931379 | | Style | Ballpoint Pen | | Subject Character | Parker Logo | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Your Parker writing instrument is guarranteed for two years from the date of original purchase against defects in materials or workmanship.

I already owned the Parker Duofold Centennial Chevron Blue fountain pen (fine nib) and purchased this ballpoint as its sidekick. I generally prefer to write with a fountain pen, but sometimes a ballpoint comes in handy. So, why not enjoy the same beauty, quality and smooth writing when reaching for a ballpoint? ## Frequently Bought Together - PARKER Duofold Ballpoint Pen, Classic Big Red Vintage with Medium Point Black Ink Refill - Parker Quinkflow Ballpoint Pen Ink Refill, Medium Tip, Black - Parker Jotter XL Ballpoint Pen Monochrome Stainless Medium Point Blue Ink Gift Box --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/47289135-duofold-ballpoint-pen](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/47289135-duofold-ballpoint-pen) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
