Pen tip #14 - Tell apart Parker International vs Centennial Duofold

In this video I show you how to tell apart the Parker Centennial Duofold from the Parker International Duofold from bad online photos.
It is very easy: just a matter of size:
Parker International Duofold:
Nib size (exposed part): 19.1 mm
Section size: 20.6 mm
Ratio (nib/section): 0.9 mm
Parker Centennial Duofold:
Nib size (exposed part): 22.7 mm
Section size: 21.0 mm
Ratio (nib/section): 1.1 mm

I've I've the same generation Duofold and they don't get enough love!

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

These are really good Parker pens!

[@mambokurtz]

Thanks for the tip.
I'm still torn between the two sizes, why don't you make a comparison review? It would be nice, especially since you haven't reviewed much International size models on your channel. Just a suggestion though!

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll do a comparison video, it is in my plans. I'll even use these 2 pens because they are exact matches, only of different sizes.

[@uyi2g4eva]

Won’t work if the camera is angled . The relies on a perfect plan view

[@gristlevonraben]

so the centennial is better, awesome!

[@GPngts]

It is more expensive... Better is a matter of preference... I prefer the international, as the centennial is too big for me.

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

It depends on personal preference. For me it is better because I prefer bigger pens. But the writing experience will be very similar.

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

@@GPngts You are right. I'm on the oposite side, though. I prefer the Centennial size.

[@ginopagnani7286]

That’s a great and simple procedure!

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

It is simple. I'm sure it won't be useful for everuyone, but it may help some people...

[@rustynail246]

after your 10 min of explanation, the bottom line is you can't tell the difference between the two in picture unless they are right next to each other, or right next to a ruler, since one is a tad longer than the other.

[@archivist17]

Ingenious!

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

Thanks! Just a simple method that works and I use it often to get some bargains.

[@AlessandroBonelli]

Very interesting but for my taste too much bla bla bla bla bla... 9 minutes to say that little interesting thing is too much... for my taste, of course.

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

I understand that... But the great thing about RUclips is that the user can skip the video to the exact moment he wants...

[@AlessandroBonelli]

@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita if I had known what to skip I would have gladly done it

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

@@AlessandroBonelli I just needed to spend a few seconds searching for the interesting part.
