LIMITED EDITION The 1995 Parker Duofold Mandarin Yellow Limited Edition is inspired from a golden era of fountain pens. Embodying the spirit of its predecessor, it is both a collector's item and a high quality fountain pen. The original Mandarin Yellow was first created in 1927 by George Parker who drew his inspiration from a cloisonné vase that he found in an oriental store and subsequently displayed in his home. With the 1995 Limited Edition of the PARKER Mandarin Yellow - only 10.000 pens will be manufactured - we have been meticulous in choosing a color which is representative of that of the original Mandarin Yellow. The size of the new pen is inspired by the DUOFOLD Senior and unites the best of modern technology with the tradition of craftsmanship which made the DUOFOLD is a design landmark of the 1920s. The barrel is engraved with with George S. Parker’s name, the company’s name and the famous Lucky Curve ribbon as it originally appeared (inside the ribbon is engraved the individual serial number (4587/10000). The cap crown is topped with a specially designed die-struck brass medallion detailing the same number housed in the gift box (4587/10000). The 18k – 750 Medium (M) gold nib has a specific imprint with a Parker logo of the 1920s. The sprung clip is plated with 23k gold.
