Parker Duofold Centennial XF point.
I've decided to reduce my pen collection and wanted to let my fellow FPGeeks get first crack at these pens, so here is #1. This was a daily writer for quite a while - all my pens are inked, used, carried and not babied. If you have a collection of pens in the closet that you never use, these probably won't cut it. But if you are like me and believe that a Fountain pen in the hand is worth two in the closet, then here is a chance to add to your stable.
This is the larger of the two Duofold fountain pens, I believe it is the Centennial. I had the Parker factory trade for an XF nib as I write small. I bought it 25 (?) years ago and used it for about 5 years before it was replaced by another pen. It is in good to very good shape - I can find no blemish on it, but there are a few slight wear marks, like where I posted the cap. It is cartridge/coverter fill, with the converter installed. No box, just the pen and converter.
I'd like $300 for it.
