AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This Parker Duofold exhibits a remarkable condition for its era, combining structural integrity, aesthetic beauty, and authenticity in all its elements. Its body and cap, crafted in green marbled celluloid in two tones, retain a deep shine and well-defined patterns, with no visible cracks or deformations, demonstrating excellent aging of the original material.

The cap retains the iconic Parker Arrow clip with minimal wear and a solid presence, complemented by the triple gold ring, well fitted and without significant loss of plating. The screw closure closes precisely, reflecting a mechanism that has not suffered abuse or invasive repairs.

The nib, an original Parker piece in 14-karat gold, retains its clear inscriptions and shows proper alignment, with no deformations or signs of impact. Its condition suggests smooth and consistent writing performance, supported by a very good condition ebonite feed, free of obstructions or noticeable deterioration.

The button load system — one of the most appreciated technical features in this generation's Duofold — remains intact. The rear button retains its original shape and shows no signs of corrosion, allowing for efficient and secure filling.

Overall, this Parker Duofold represents a highly collectible example, with exceptional aesthetic presence and preserved functionality, making it ideal for those seeking a historical piece in authentic and attractive condition. Its blend of classic elegance, noble materials, and superior preservation positions it as a notable acquisition within the high-end vintage fountain pen world.

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