1999 PARKER DUOFOLD CENTENNIAL GREENWICH SPECIAL EDITION FOUNTAIN PEN MINT

Description: For your consideration, we are offering for sale this 1999 Parker Centennial Duofold Greenwich Special Edition Fountain Pen. This Parker Duofold comes in the original Greenwich Duofold boxes, Parker literature, and has never been inked - considered New Old Stock in Mint Condition. The Parker Duofold Greenwich Fountain Pen is a special edition that was created in 1999 to celebrate the Millennium. The fountain pen also pays tribute to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England, where the beginning of each new day is traditionally marked at midnight. Parker was the only pen manufacturer authorized to produce an official Greenwich pen, and to use the Greenwich logo, to commemorate the Millennium celebration. There were roughly 3,000 Fountain Pens and 1,000 Rollerballs produced for sale however no limited edition numbers were marked on the pens. The Greenwich Fountain Pen is a black Centennial-sized Duofold that features a machine-engraved Fougere pattern on its black acrylic cap and barrel. The top of the cap has a special Greenwich emblem embedded in it, while the extra-wide single cap band has "Parker Duofold Greenwich" engraved in all capital letters. When you remove the cap, you will find a very large 18K Duofold Medium Nib with the Parker arrow and Duofold name engraved on it and masked in platinum. The barrel and cap are gorgeous with gold-plated cap clip and banding. There are no nicks, chips, cracks, or repairs. All of the trim shines brightly with no wear of the gold finish. 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 (largest size. made) that measures 5 3/8" inches in length capped and 6 7/8" posted. The lower portion of the barrel is stamped with, "PARKER MADE IN U.K. IIIN which is the date code for 1999 in the 1st Quarter". The Parker Duofold 18K Solid Gold Nib is Platinum Plated and is marked "M" on the back of the feed for a medium line/stroke. The 2-tone NIB is in fantastic condition and has never been inked. The Parker NIB's writing portion (iridium) measures roughly .86mm, or a medium point when measured with digital calipers. This fountain pen uses an ink converter and accompanies this fountain pen. It is a Parker branded ink converter. It will also accept Parker ink cartridges, which two accompany the pen. The factory boxes are in excellent condition with no damage. Each box is in Mint condition with no ink stains or damage. This Parker Greenwich Duofold Centennial Special Edition Fountain Pen sold out pretty quickly when released. Interestingly, the Greenwich was a finalist for best pen in the online Robb Report in 2000. This is a special fountain pen - we do not see modern Parker with this Chased pattern anymore and this one is truly a work of art.
