The Story
This stunning set of Parker Duofold's were created as retail samples to market the Parker Presidential range in flagship stores in Britain.
The pens are samples of the Parker Presidential, which are made from solid 18kt gold and were dubbed as 'the world's most expensive pens', literally worth their weight in gold. The fountain pen was priced at $10,000 and the ballpoint at $5,000.
The samples are identical to the presidential in appearance and are made from gilt metal rather than solid gold. These are highly desirable writing instruments.
The fountain pen carries an 18k Oblique Medium Nib, designed for left handers to write comfortably and with line variation. The pens comes boxed in their presidential case, both are serviced and ready to write.
The Nitty Gritty
There are micro-scratches present, the lightest signs the pens have been handled, but never inked.
The box inner box shows wear and the outer box shows dappling from age.
