The photos above are of the actual pen we are offering for sale here
This is an early Duofold International fountain pen in red with gold trim and dates from just after Parker's 1990 minor redesign of the Duofold which introduced a slightly longer and thicker clip with raised rather than imprinted feathers and also raised rather than flat cap rings. It also features the Parker Duofold decal on the cap top
Looking at the Parker imprint on the reverse of the cap, this has a date letter of U which indicates it was manufactured in 1991
This takes standard modern Parker cartridges or a Parker converter for filling from an ink bottle
Condition wise, this shows zero signs of ever having been used so is in ex-factory condition. It is fitted with a medium 18k gold bi-colour nib with the arrow imprint
Condition A2/1m - (Ref 12862)
See our Condition Grading Scale
The International is a slightly smaller diameter pen than the Centennial
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
