Description from the seller

Nib is not perfect

A0000003523

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

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

On the golden metal elements (clip, rings, pencil grip cone, and ornaments) there are marks and more noticeable light scratches, typical of rubbing and handling over decades. The gold maintains good overall presence and uniformity, with no structural losses or deformations.

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

Overall, it is an authentic and honest set, with the natural marks that accompany a nearly century-old historic piece, but with no structural cracks, no functional damage, and no compromise to its use or collectible value.

It presents a patina in line with its age that reinforces its vintage character without detracting from its appeal.

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

Happy bidding!
