AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Parker Duofold Jade Green is presented in very good condition, standing out for its excellent aesthetic appearance and careful preservation of its original materials.
The body and the cap are made of green jadeite celluloid (Jade Green), retaining a vivid and well-defined color, with the characteristic deep and uniform veining typical of this model. No significant discolorations are observed, maintaining a balanced and attractive tone. The surface shows slight superficial marks and micro-scratches, visible only upon close inspection or under light reflections, consistent with careful use and fully acceptable for a piece of this age.
The clip and the gold-plated rings are in very good condition, retaining their shine, correct alignment, and detailed definition, with no material loss or significant wear. The engraving on the cap is clear and legible, reinforcing the authenticity and appeal of the set.
The top part of the cap's stopper, with the 'DUOFOLD' emblem, retains its original definition, presenting a smooth and uniform patina, consistent with the passage of time, with no dents, cracks, or structural damages.
The gold nib is in excellent condition, with no visible deformations and correct geometry. It retains its engraving and is fully functional.
Overall, it is a well-preserved Parker Duofold Jade Green, especially interesting for collectors seeking an authentic specimen with honest patina, good color intensity, and no structural defects. An elegant, balanced piece suitable for both occasional use and collection.
Good auction!
