AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000003998

The Parker Duofold Centennial fountain pen is presented in very good condition, showing an elegant, well-cared-for appearance, in line with a high-end writing instrument that has been treated with respect over time.

The body and cap, made of blue-gray marbled resin, retain a deep and attractive shine, where the characteristic veining of the material is appreciated with rich visual depth. The surface remains clean and uniform, showing only light micro-scratches typical of normal use, difficult to notice at a glance and that do not affect the overall aesthetics of the piece.

The gold-plated elements, including the emblematic Parker arrow clip and the decorative rings, are in very good condition, with a bright finish and no appreciable loss of plating. The engravings and metal details maintain a clear definition, contributing to the distinguished presence of the set.

The solid 18-carat gold nib, decorated with the classic Parker engraving and the ace of spades motif, is well preserved and properly aligned. The nib surface holds a good aesthetic state, with no visible deformities, and the feed is clean and correctly seated.

The pen has been serviced and tested, being fully operational and ready for use, offering the smooth and reliable writing experience characteristic of the Duofold series.

Overall, this is a very well-preserved writing instrument, combining Parker’s classic aesthetics with the manufacturing quality of the Duofold Centennial line, making it a highly attractive piece for both collection and everyday use.

Care recommendations

To preserve the pen’s good condition, it is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoiding pigmented inks or those with particulates. If the pen will not be used for an extended period, it is advisable to clean it with warm water, dry it completely before storing, and keep it in a dry place, protected from direct light and extreme temperatures. It is also recommended to operate the charging system gently to ensure correct preservation over time.

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

Happy bidding!
