Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this 1993 Parker Centennial Duofold Fountain Pen in Green Marble and Gold Trim. This Parker has the uncommon nib coded 87, Fine Oblique Right Handed 18K Nib.  I have disassembled the fountain pen to clean and polish it and it is now back in fabulous writing condition. This nib performs amazingly - an ultra-smooth writing nib!

The barrel and cap are gorgeous with a beautiful green marbled color and gold-plated trim. There are absolutely no nicks, chips, cracks, or repairs to the pen.

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 on the lower barrel end of "L" for 1993 in the 4th Quarter date code. Also, the area is stamped with Parker, Parker Logo, and Made in U.K.

This Parker Centennial has a fantastic 18K Two-Tone Fine Oblique right-hander nib. The nib/feed is designated 87 which is numbered on the back of the feed. The 87-coded nib is known as a Fine Oblique 18K nib for right-handers. The Parker NIB's writing portion (iridium) measures roughly 1.07mm when measured with digital calipers. 

This nib writes spectacularly with an ultra-smooth line - as they like to say, "like butta". The line strokes range from a fine/medium (.59mm) line on the horizontal strokes to a medium/broad (.96mm) line variation on the downward strokes when measuring with a digital caliper. 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 Parker Blue Ink. Again, I really want to emphasize how incredibly smooth this nib writes! 

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.

This Parker Duofold Centennial in Green Marble has absolutely gorgeous colors with the bright gold trim! Having a 87-coded nib on a Centennial Duofold makes the pen a bit more desirable than others. This Parker Centennial Duofold is in Near Mint Condition and is ready to write with or add to your writing arsenal collection. Indeed, this a pen that you can cherish and pass down from generation to generation.
