Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this 1987 Parker 1st Year Centennial Duofold Fountain Pen in Jet Black. I have disassembled the fountain pen to clean and polish it and now is back in fabulous writing condition.

The barrel and cap are gorgeous with beautiful color, gold-plated cap clip, and banding. There are absolutely no nicks, chips, cracks, or repairs to the pen. On the 2-rings that are on the section near the nib, on the feed side, there are two small gold plate wear areas - I point them out for clarity sake but are very minor. 

The threads on the cap and barrel are excellent with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. There are no monograms or personalizations to either the cap or barrel. This Parker Duofold is a Centennial Size that measures 5 3/8" inches in length capped and 6 7/8" posted. This Parker Duofold has a date code stamp of "PE" for 1987 in the 1st Quarter date code which is a 1st Year Centennial Duofold. Also, the area is stamped with Parker and Made in U.K.

This Parker Centennial has a juicy 18K Two-Tone Broad nib. The nib/feed is designated 84 which is numbered on the back of the feed. The 2-tone NIB is in fantastic condition and writes smoothly with a wet line! The actual writing portion (iridium) of the Parker NIB measures roughly 1.42mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a .64mm medium line on the horizontal stroke to 1.47mm double broad on the vertical stroke with medium pressure when measuring with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Montblanc Blue-Black Ink.

The ink converter is a factory Parker and ready for your ink. I have tested the ink converter with water and operates as it should.

The Parker Duofold comes with the original wooden Parker Duofold box. The box is in excellent condition. 

This Parker Duofold Centennial in Jet Black really makes a statement - the color is absolutely gorgeous with the good trim! Being a 1st Year Centennial Duofold makes the pen a bit more desirable than others. It is ready to write or add to your writing arsenal collection. Indeed, this a pen that you can cherish and pass down from generation to generation.
