Parker Duofold fountain pen and ballpoint set, two pieces, gold-plated finish with an 18K gold nib on the fountain pen, pen length 13.2 cm and diameter 1 cm, made in France in the mid-20th century, in good used condition and in working order.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

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

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

The iconic Parker arrow clip is aligned and firm, with no deformations, keeping its functionality and aesthetic intact. The details and gold 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 checked and is delivered in proper working order, ready for use. The filling system accepts cartridges or a converter.

The ballpoint 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 aesthetic presence with full functionality, ideal for both use and collection, especially attractive for its gold metal finish, less common within the Duofold series.

Conservation recommendations

- Use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens
- Avoid pigmented or permanent inks
- Clean with warm water if not used for a while
- Dry completely before storing
- Keep in a dry place, away from direct light and extreme temperatures
- Operate mechanisms gently
- It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper conservation.

Happy bidding!
