AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000004064

The set is presented in excellent overall condition, especially notable for the intensity and uniformity of its gold finish, which maintains a deep and elegant shine, reflecting careful use over time.

The bodies of both the fountain pen and the pencil show minimal micro-scratches typical of occasional handling, with no plating losses or significant visible wear. The engraved linear pattern remains sharp and well defined, contributing that sophisticated character so characteristic of this version of the Duofold line.

The iconic Parker arrow-shaped clip is aligned and firm, without deformities, keeping its functionality and aesthetics intact. The gold details and rings are in very good condition, with no dents or notable marks.

The fountain pen is equipped with an 18K gold nib, visually in very good condition, with no deformations or apparent alterations. The piece has been inspected and is delivered in proper working order, ready for use. The filling system accepts cartridges or a converter.

The fountain pen, with a twist mechanism, operates smoothly and precisely, in line with the quality of the range, and is compatible with standard Parker refills.

Overall, this is a piece that combines excellent visual presence with full functionality, ideal for both daily use and for collection, especially attractive for its gold metallic finish, less common within the Duofold series.

Conservation recommendations

Use high-quality inks specific for fountain pens
Avoid pigmented or permanent inks
Clean with lukewarm water if not used for a while
Dry completely before storing
Store in a dry place, away from direct light and extreme temperatures
Handle mechanisms gently
It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation.

Happy bidding!
