Parker Duofold Centennial Lapis Blue Three-Piece Set

A stunning three-piece luxury writing instrument set by Parker, consisting of a Centennial-sized fountain pen, a rollerball pen, and a mechanical pencil. The set is finished in the vibrant Lapis Blue 'Mosaic-style' cast acrylic, featuring a deep blue marbling with lighter blue and black flecks, reminiscent of the traditional lapis lazuli stone. All three instruments are trimmed in 23k gold plating, including the iconic Parker arrow clips and dual cap bands. The fountain pen features a large, two-tone 18k solid gold arrow-embossed nib. The construction uses high-grade acrylic resin and precision-engineered brass internal components. Based on the design and the specific Lapis Blue colorway (introduced in the mid-1990s as part of the modern Duofold revival), this set likely dates from approximately 1996 to 2001. The items appear to be in excellent to near-mint condition, showing high luster on the barrels and no visible brassing or wear to the gold trim. The pens are displayed in a white satin-lined presentation box, suggesting they have been well-preserved as a collector's set. The craftsmanship is indicative of Parker's premium UK manufacturing from the Newhaven factory, characterized by the threaded caps and substantial weight of the Centennial frame.
