Inspired by the timeless styling of the original Duofold while incorporating modern materials and engineering, it remains one of the most elegant finishes in the International series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cap and barrel are beautifully preserved, displaying exceptional color, depth, and brilliance throughout. The lustrous resin surfaces are free from chips, cracks, scratches, dents, repairs, or signs of use, while the gold-plated Arrow clip and cap bands retain their original mirror-like finish with no wear or brassing. The threaded cap engages smoothly and securely with the barrel, reflecting the precision craftsmanship for which Parker's modern Duofold line has become renowned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cap is crowned by the Parker Duofold medallion, which remains in perfect condition.
