For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Near Mint 1995 Parker International Duofold Fountain Pen in Black & Pearl fitted with an 18K Broad Nib. This fountain pen has seen very little use and I consider this Parker Fountain Pen to be in Near Mint to 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, gold-plated cap clip, and banding. 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. The top of the cap has the Parker Duofold medallion which is in perfect condition. This Parker Duofold is an International Size that measures 5 1/8" inches in length capped and 6 1/2" posted. This Parker Duofold has a date code stamped of IIT for 1995 in the 2nd Quarter date code on the butt-end side of the barrel. Also, the area is stamped with Parker, Parker Logo, and Made in U.K.
This Parker International has a fabulous ultra-smooth writing 18K Two-Tone Broad nib. The nib is designated with a "B" which stands for Broad. The actual writing portion (iridium) of the Parker NIB measures roughly 1.18mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a .70mm Medium line to a .99mm broad stroke 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 Ink. I have to say it again, this is a fantastic smooth writing nib!
The Parker Black & Pearl comes with the original boxes and Parker Literature - these items are in Near Mint to Mint condition.
The ink converter is a factory Parker and ready for your ink. I have tested the ink converter and operates as it should in my tests with water.
This Parker Duofold International Fountain Pen in Black & Pearl makes a statement - the color is gorgeous! It is ready to write with the 18K ultra-smooth broad nib or add to your writing arsenal collection. Indeed, this a pen that you can cherish and pass down from generation to generation!
