Paragraph Description: An exceptional and extremely rare vintage PARKER Fountain Pen & Ballpoint Pen Set, complete with its original vintage luxury presentation box. Manufactured in France during the 1980s-1990s era, this elegant matching set features stunning gold-plated bodies adorned with a finely detailed chiseled diamond-pattern guilloche design. The Fountain Pen is the highlight of this set, featuring a luxurious 18K solid gold nib (stamped 18K / 750) in a highly desirable "XF" (Extra Fine) size for precise, smooth writing. Crucially, the fountain pen's cap band proudly bears the official French square hallmark (the PARKER "PP" manufacturer mark), legally certifying this set's authentic, heavy gold plating ("Plaqué Or") compliant with strict French standards. The Matching Ballpoint Pen perfectly complements the fountain pen. Please note that the ballpoint pen's ink has dried out due to age and requires a new refill (standard Parker type, widely available). Incredibly, both items retain their original red wax-style factory tags tied to the clips ("PLAQUE OR / GOLD PLATED") — a phenomenal find for collectors since these tags were almost always discarded. Both instruments are in excellent vintage condition, appearing to have been used only for brief test-writing, and come beautifully housed in the original Parker case as shown. The gold plating retains a deep, mirror-like luster with no noticeable brassing. This is a investment-grade, certified French-made set that rarely appears on the market in such complete, pristine condition.
