This Parker Duofold Fountain Pen boasts a marbled maroon color and features a gold trim for added elegance. The pen is made with a durable 18K gold nib. This fountain pen is perfect for collectors and enthusiasts alike, and is a great addition to any pen collection. The pen is in its original box with paperwork. It is an international product and was manufactured in the United Kingdom. I don't know anything else about this or anything about the ink, or if the ink is inside or usable. The tip says 18k Parker 750. I have never used one of these pens, so I am not sure on how to test the ink. Look at the pictures for what you will receive. Thanks for looking. All of my items are in as is and as found condition. I don't accept returns. Look at pictures for measurements. Follow me as a favorite seller. Have a great day.
