Parker - Duofold Centennial - Fountain pen

A0000003689

The fountain pen is presented in very good condition, maintaining an elegant and well-cared aesthetic presence, typical of a piece from the prestigious Parker Duofold Centennial line. Its body and cap, made of metal with a gold-plated finish and vertical ribbed Godron decoration, retain a warm and uniform shine that highlights the sophistication of the design.

The metal surfaces preserve a good definition of the guilloché pattern, with only slight micro-scratches from superficial wear, compatible with careful use over time. These small marks are discreet and do not affect at all the overall aesthetics or visual appeal of the piece.

The classic Parker clip in the shape of an arrow is well aligned and in good condition, preserving its functionality and finish. The top cap medallion with the inscription “Parker Duofold” remains clearly legible and well defined.

The polished black resin section presents a clean and glossy appearance, without cracks or deformations, offering an elegant contrast with the gold finish of the body.

The original Parker nib made of solid 18-carat gold (750) is in very good structural condition, with the tines correctly aligned and no visible deformations. The nib engraving remains crisp and the feed is correctly adjusted.

The pen has been inspected and tested, guaranteeing proper operation of the writing system and the filling system via cartridge or Parker converter.

Overall, it is a fountain pen that preserves an excellent aesthetic and functional presence, with light signs of use consistent with its nature as a high-end writing instrument.

Conservation recommendations

To preserve optimal functioning and aesthetics, it is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens and avoid pigmented inks. If not used for a prolonged period, it is advisable to clean the system with warm water, dry completely before storing and keep it in a dry place, protected from direct light and extreme temperatures. Always operate the filling system gently to ensure its long-term proper conservation.

It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper conservation.
