Parker - Duofold Lapis Blue Marble - Fountain pen

A0000003523

The set is presented in very good overall condition, preserving all the personality and character of an original Parker piece from the 1920s–30s.

The Lapis Blue Marble celluloid maintains its chromatic depth and its attractive blue-veined marble pattern, with natural shine. Signs of use and micro-scratches are slightly visible, consistent with the passage of time and normal use of a vintage piece. These signs do not affect the material’s structure or compromise its stability.

In the gold-tone metal elements (clip, rings, the cone of the mechanical pencil and embellishments) there are marks and light scratches more noticeable, typical of rubbing and handling over decades. The gold finish preserves good overall presence and uniformity, without structural losses or deformations.

The body engraving remains visible. The 14K gold nib preserves definition in its inscriptions and its integral structure, with no appreciable alterations to its morphology. The fill system and the mechanism of the mechanical pencil show no visible structural damage.

Overall, this is an authentic and honest set, with the natural marks that accompany a historic piece of almost a century old, but without structural cracks, without functional damages, and without compromising its use or its collectible value.

It presents a patina appropriate to its age that reinforces its vintage character without detracting from its appeal.

It will be shipped in a courtesy box to preserve the integrity of the set.

Happy bidding!
