Parker - Duofold Centennial - Fountain pen

A0000004413

The pen is presented in very good overall condition, standing out for excellent cosmetic and functional preservation. The body and cap in black resin maintain a high original gloss, with deep and uniform reflections that enhance its classic elegance. No cracks, fissures, or deformations are observed, only very slight micro-signs of use typical of the passage of time and careful use, practically imperceptible to the naked eye.

The gold-plated elements — the arrow-shaped clip and rings — are in very good condition, with clean and homogeneous gilding, with no significant plating loss or evident wear. The overall presence is very attractive.

The original Parker nib, solid 18-carat gold, is in excellent condition, perfectly aligned, without deformations and with a well-preserved tip. The feed is clean and in proper condition, guaranteeing adequate ink flow.

The cartridge/converter filling system works correctly, having been inspected and tuned, ready for immediate use.

Overall, this is a very well-preserved piece, with an ideal balance between use and care, fully functional and with an aesthetic that reflects the quality of the Duofold range.

Preservation recommendations

To preserve its condition, it is recommended to use high-quality inks specific for fountain pens, avoid pigmented inks, periodically clean with lukewarm water if not used for a while, dry completely before storing, keep in a dry place without direct light or extreme temperatures, and always operate the filling system gently.

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

Happy bidding!
