Description from the seller
This Parker 61 'Insignia' model, in its distinguished 12-carat gold-plated version with a vertical linear pattern, is in excellent condition, standing out for its timeless elegance and impeccable technical execution.
The body and cap maintain a uniform golden shine, with no loss of plating, showing slight signs of handling typical of their age that do not affect their appearance or aesthetic integrity. The characteristic arrow-shaped clip by Parker remains firmly attached, with defined lines and no deformations, reaffirming the authenticity of the set.

The custom engraving 'Dr. Curbera' on the body adds historical value and authenticity to the piece, representing a direct connection to its original provenance. The cap closes properly, maintaining the alignment and hermetic seal characteristic of the model.
It comes with its original Parker case with a satinized interior in excellent condition, ideal for preservation or display.
