For your consideration, we are delighted to offer this 1994 Parker Duofold International Fountain Pen in the elegant Black & Pearl pattern, fitted with a desirable 18K solid gold Broad nib. Preserved in Mint, Never Inked condition, this exceptional example is complete with its original Parker presentation boxes, factory literature, ink converter, two Parker ink cartridges, and foil hang tag, representing an increasingly difficult-to-find New Old Stock collector\'s set.
The Black & Pearl Duofold is one of Parker\'s most sophisticated modern color combinations, pairing luminous pearlized resin with deep black accents and rich gold-plated trim. Inspired by the timeless styling of the original Duofold while incorporating modern materials and engineering, it remains one of the most elegant finishes in the International series.
The cap and barrel are beautifully preserved, displaying exceptional color, depth, and brilliance throughout. The lustrous resin surfaces are free from chips, cracks, scratches, dents, repairs, or signs of use, while the gold-plated Arrow clip and cap bands retain their original mirror-like finish with no wear or brassing. The threaded cap engages smoothly and securely with the barrel, reflecting the precision craftsmanship for which Parker\'s modern Duofold line has become renowned.
The cap is crowned by the Parker Duofold medallion, which remains in perfect condition. There are no monograms, engravings, or personalizations, preserving the pen exactly as it left the factory.
This International-size Duofold measures 5 1/8 inches capped, 6 1/2 inches posted, and weighs 0.83 ounces, offering superb balance and outstanding comfort for extended writing sessions.
The lower end of the barrel is stamped with Parker\'s 1994 third-quarter date code (lI), along with the Parker name, Parker halo logo, and \"Made in U.K.\", confirming its manufacture during one of the finest periods of modern Duofold production.
At the heart of this exceptional writing instrument is Parker\'s beautifully engraved Arrow-pattern 18K solid gold nib, featuring its original platinum-plated mask, which remains fully intact and brilliantly preserved. The feed is marked \"B\" for Broad, while the iridium tipping measures approximately 1.18 mm using digital calipers, which falls in the Broad point designation. Broad Duofold nibs are prized for their exceptionally smooth writing characteristics, generous ink flow, and bold line, making them favorites among enthusiasts who appreciate expressive handwriting.
Consistent with the pen\'s Never Inked status, the nib has never been filled or dip-tested, and wanted to keep it this way for the new curator.
The pen is fitted with its original Parker converter, which has been tested with water only and functions flawlessly, ready for its first filling. Also included are two original Parker ink cartridges, providing the next owner with the choice of bottled ink or cartridges.
Accompanying the pen are its original Parker presentation boxes, factory literature, unused converter, two ink cartridges, and the original foil hang tag, completing this outstanding offering.
The Parker Duofold International Black & Pearl remains one of the most elegant and enduring designs of the modern Duofold era. Examples preserved in Mint, Never Inked condition, complete with their original packaging and accessories, have become increasingly scarce as more enter permanent collections.
Whether acquired as a centerpiece in an advanced Parker collection, a refined everyday writer, or an heirloom-quality writing instrument to be enjoyed for generations, this magnificent 1994 Parker Duofold International Black & Pearl represents an exceptional opportunity to own one of Parker\'s finest modern fountain pens.
