In the Duofold line the Senior tends to get the most attention, yet it is the Junior that is in many respects the better all-around design. Short enough to fit in a normal pocket yet thick enough to fit hands of all sizes, the Junior has similar proportions to other ergonomic classics such as the Pelikan 100 and 100N series. And Juniors got used: heavily worn examples are plentiful, but ones in better condition are not easy to come by.
