Parker - Duofold Marbled Maroon Centennial - Fountain pen

The pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing remarkable preservation both aesthetically and functionally.

The red marbled resin body maintains an excellent gloss and depth of color, with the characteristic veining well defined and no noticeable discolorations. There are light micro-scratches from use over time and careful handling, but no cracks, dents, or structural defects. The black areas (butt cap and cap) likewise retain a good finish, with minimal signs of handling.

The golden elements — clip, rings, and embellishments — show a very good state of conservation, with uniform shine and no significant loss of plating, which enhances their visual appeal.

The solid gold 18K nib is in excellent condition, with no deformations or unusual wear, maintaining proper alignment and smooth writing. The feed is clean and in optimal working condition.

The filling system has been inspected and tested, functioning correctly, ensuring a reliable writing experience from the first use.

Overall, this is a very well-preserved piece, fully functional and ready for use or collection, with light signs of wear consistent with its age.

Maintenance recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens and to avoid pigmented inks. If not in prolonged use, clean with warm water, dry completely before storage, and keep in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures. Always operate the filling system gently to preserve its mechanics in the long term.

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

Happy bidding!
