Does anyone know what threads are used on the section to body of a Parker Duofold Centennial?
Sorry, I don't -- but I have a Duofold (Centennial? International? Not sure what the exact name of this model is).
I doubt that I'd be able to read the pitch with sufficient accuracy to create a barrel that the section would fit, but I'll take a look. Might be a day or two before I get to it.
Meantime -- you could check out www.FountainPenNetwork.com to see if the question has already been asked & answered there.
Maybe if you switched to Jowo life would be better. I've done so, but can't say for sure since it's been a while since I've done a #5.
You've Hijacked your own thread!!:biggrin:
you can make your own section ... it's probally easier then trying to fit a proprietary section
you can make your own section from black ebonite, or acrylic, have even used juma or derlin before , it's probally easier then trying to fit a proprietary section and a lot cheaper as your going to burn through a few try's before get the fit right , can but taps for jowo 5's or 6's from Edison Pen Co – Fountain Nibs for material lots of places to get rod, have even bough from pool cue making suppliers https://www.cuestik.com/store/?DEPARTMENT_ID=231

I currently make sections out of all types of material and have taps for #5 and #6 bock and jowo as well as the full compliment of triple start taps and dies.
I've never used a Parker Duofold, but it seems that many people feel the nib is very special. A lot of people won't use bock and jowo nibs at all. The following for "fantasy" duofolds is quite impressive. They want the writing experience but prefer a particular material or design it seems.
