Parker - Duofold Centennial - Fountain pen

The fountain pen is presented in very good condition, maintaining an elegant and well-kept aesthetic presence, typical of a piece from the prestigious Parker Duofold Centennial line. Its body and cap, made of metal with gold-plated finish and vertical grooved Godron decoration, preserve a warm, uniform shine that highlights the sophistication of the design.

The metallic surfaces maintain a good definition of the striped pattern, with only light micro-scratches from normal 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 classic Parker clip in the shape of an arrow is well aligned and in good condition, retaining its functionality and finish. The cap's upper medallion 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 solid gold 18-carat (750) nib is in very good structural condition, with the tines correctly aligned and no visible deformations. The nib engraving remains sharp and the feed is properly adjusted.

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

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

Conservation recommendations

To preserve optimal function and aesthetics of the fountain pen, 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 lukewarm water, dry 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 its long-term preservation.

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