Parker - Duofold Centennial - Fountain pen

A0000003689

The fountain pen is presented in very good condition, maintaining an elegant and well-cared-for 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 striated Godron decoration, preserve a warm, uniform shine that highlights the sophistication of the design.

The metal surfaces maintain a good definition of the striated pattern, with only light micro-scratches from superficial use, compatible with careful use over time. These small marks are discreet and do not affect the overall aesthetics of the piece or its visual appeal.

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

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

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

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

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

Conservation recommendations

To preserve optimal operation and aesthetics, it is recommended to use high-quality fountain pen inks and avoid pigmented inks. If not used for an extended period, it is advisable to clean the system with warm water, dry it 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 long-term proper conservation.

It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
