A Masterpiece of Writing Culture: The Parker Snake Limited Edition

I am liquidating my collection and offering for sale - one of the most coveted collector's items from Parker: The Snake Limited Edition from 1997.

Gem setting: The eyes of the snakes on the cap and body are set with a total of four real, sparkling emeralds.
Nib: Bi-Color nib made of 18K (750) solid gold, intricately engraved with the snake motif. Nib size: M (Medium).
Limited edition: Worldwide only 5,000 pieces were produced. This set bears the number 3654.
