The photos above are of the actual pen we are offering for sale here
Produced in England, this is a Centennial Duofold fountain pen in burgundy marble from around 1990. This is fitted with a fine 18k gold bicolour nib with the arrow imprint which produces a writing line of around 0.4mm
This Centennial is the larger version of the Duofold with the International having a slightly smaller diameter
This takes standard modern Parker cartridges or a Parker converter for filling from an ink bottle
Condition wise, this has been well looked after and is in excellent overall shape
Condition B/1f - (Ref 12979)
In 1990, Parker revised the design of the original 1987 Duofold by improving the appearance and durability of the clip. Visually, the clip stands out with raised feathers rather than the earlier engraved version. Additionally, the gold cap and barrel bands became raised or convex rather than flat. The location of the 'Parker Made in UK' imprint was switched from the back of the cap to the blind cap at the end of the barrel
This pen features the raised flight feathers on the clip, the convex bands and the blind cap imprint which is all correct for 1990 production
We have fully serviced this pen which includes disassembling the pen and ultrasonically cleaning all the parts. We then reassemble the pen, check ink flow and the smoothness of the nib. We also check and adjust the tightness and positioning of the clip.
This pen comes with our normal 12 month warranty. We keep a detailed record of each customer's purchases so if you need to call us, we will have all the information here to answer any query
