    Red face Parker Duofold Centennial LE "Fu"

    Hi all,

    I just realized that I have never put any of my pens up here... I tend to do it only in Instagram... So I want to change that.
    I have kept the pictures small on purpose, if you want to see more detail let me know.

    I recently attended an event where I picked up this amazingly beautiful pen.
    So here it is in all it's boxed glory, the Parker Duofold Centennial 2008 LE "Fu".

    Parker Duofold Centennial 2008 LE "Fu". Happiness or good fortune, this is a beautiful pen. I'm very happy to add it to my collection.
    It is a beautiful rich red with special finial and nib.

    A better look at the nib of my brand new Parker Duofold Centennial 2008 LE "Fu" (福).
    This 18K nib is wonderfully smooth and an absolute joy to write with.
    It is currently inked with the Penman black that came with it.

    Wait...does the ink bottle say "Penman"? The bottle looks similar to the great Parker Penman series of inks, the first saturated inks, the line that includes the great Parker Penman Sapphire.

    You are correct, it comes with a bottle of Penman ink
    I read somewhere that it came with Penman Sapphire, but mine came with Penman Black... Which actually makes more sense for this pen.
