Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this gorgeous 1996 Parker Centennial Duofold Fountain Pen in Jade that retains the original Parker Duofold hang tag on the clip. This fountain pen has been gently used but comes in Near Mint condition. 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, perfectly gold-plated cap clip, and banding. There are absolutely no nicks, chips, cracks, or repairs.

The threads on the cap and barrel are excellent with the cap always securing tightly. 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.

The Parker Duofold "RIBBON" designed 18K Solid Gold Nib has the Platinum Plated masking completely intact and is marked "X" on the back of the feed for an Extra-Fine line/stroke. This Parker Duofold has a date code stamped of IIY for 1996 in the 2nd Quarter on the butt-end side of the barrel. Also, the area is stamped with Parker and Made in U.K. The 2-tone NIB is in fantastic condition and writes smoothly! The actual writing portion (iridium) of the Parker NIB measures roughly 43mm when measured with digital calipers, an Extra-Fine point. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a .36mm extra fine line to a .63mm medium 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 Parker Blue Ink.

The Parker Fountain Pen can use ink cartridges or an ink converter. This Parker has an Ink Converter and I tested it with water and works as it was designed to.

This Parker Duofold Centennial in Jade really makes a statement - the color is absolutely gorgeous with the superb trim! Having an Extra Fine coded nib on a Centennial Duofold makes the pen much more desirable than others - very difficult to acquire this nib. 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.
