1992 PARKER DUOFOLD BLACK AND PEARL BALLPOINT PEN

For your consideration, we are pleased to offer this 1992 Parker Duofold Ballpoint Pen in the striking Black & Pearl pattern with luxurious 23K gold-plated trim. An early example from Parker's modern Duofold series, this handsome writing instrument combines the distinctive styling of the Duofold with an elegant black-and-pearl finish and substantial gold-plated appointments. A new Parker black refill has been installed, making the pen ready for immediate use. The Black & Pearl finish is one of the most recognizable and desirable patterns associated with the modern Parker Duofold. The softly contrasting pearl tones set against the darker black background create considerable depth and character, while the warm 23K gold-plated trim provides an appropriately refined complement. The overall appearance is elegant without being overly ornate—a combination that has allowed the Duofold to remain timeless decades after its introduction. Condition is excellent throughout. The cap and barrel display a beautiful, well-preserved finish with no dents, dings, cracks, or repairs. The 23K gold-plated Parker Arrow clip, cap bands, and trim remain bright and attractive, with no significant loss of plating or visible wear. There are no monograms, engravings, or personalizations, leaving the pen in its original, unpersonalized state. The Parker Duofold's substantial proportions give it a reassuring presence in the hand. It measures approximately 5 3/16 inches in length and weighs approximately 1.02 ounces, providing the comfortable balance and weight for which these Parker writing instruments are appreciated for. The cap is correctly marked with the Parker name, Made in U.K., and the "IA" date code, identifying this example as a third-quarter 1992 production pen. As an early example of the modern Duofold series, the date adds an appealing element of historical interest for the Parker collector. The pen retains Parker's dependable twist-operated ballpoint mechanism. Turning the crown clockwise smoothly extends the refill from the nose cone, while turning it counterclockwise retracts the refill securely back into the barrel. The mechanism operates cleanly and positively, exactly as intended. A new Parker black ballpoint refill has been installed and is ready for writing. This allows the new owner to enjoy the pen immediately while preserving the attractive condition of the exterior. The 1992 Parker Duofold represents an important period in Parker's history—the early years of the company's revival of the legendary Duofold name. The combination of the distinctive Black & Pearl finish, 23K gold-plated trim, substantial Duofold proportions, and 1992 production date makes this an especially appealing example for collectors of modern Parker writing instruments. Elegant without being excessive, substantial without being cumbersome, and beautifully preserved, this 1992 Parker Duofold Black & Pearl Ballpoint Pen would make an excellent addition to a Parker collection or a sophisticated everyday writing instrument. It is a classic example of Parker's ability to combine traditional design with the craftsmanship and materials of its modern Duofold era.
