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 ballpoint show minimal micro-signs of use, 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 clip in the shape of an arrow is aligned and firm, without deformations, maintaining its functionality and intact aesthetics. 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 serviced and is delivered in proper working order, ready for use. The filling system accepts cartridge or converter.

The ballpoint, with twist mechanism, shows smooth and precise operation, in keeping with the quality of the range, and is compatible with standard Parker refills.

Overall, it 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.

Care recommendations

Use inks of high quality specifically 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, without direct light or extreme temperatures

Operate the mechanisms gently

Will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper conservation.

Happy bidding!
