PARKER DUOFOLD GREENWICH FOUNTAIN PENBarrel in black resin and 18 kts. gold plated decoration.M nib in 18kt yellow gold and 750 ml silver. Screw cap.Cartridge loading.No box.Dimensions: 13.5 cm. length; 19.53 mm. diameter.Parker Duofold is a range of fountain pens produced by the Parker Pen Company.The first model was produced in 1921 and was a large pen, measuring 5.5 inches long when capped. It was made of an eye-catching bright red rubber.The original full-size Duofold was soon joined by the smaller Duofold Junior, Duofold Special and Lady Duofold. While the Junior and Special could also be fitted with the Parker Ring Clip, the Lady Duofold was available with a Chatelaine, or Ring Top to hang around the neck. The Ring Top would also appear on Parker's waistcoat pocket models, to be attached to a fob watch. Matching pens would come with either clip or ring, depending on the pen selected. The pen was available only in red and black hard rubber until 1926, when Parker introduced the "unbreakable Permanite" Duofold (Permanite was Parker's trade name for a plastic manufactured by DuPont). The first new shade was the now traditional red, followed by Jade Green (created to compete with Sheaffer's revolutionary Lifetime Jade Radite pens) which was not originally called Duofold, but Black Tipped Jade (changed shortly thereafter). This was followed by Blue Lapis Lazuli and Mandarin Yellow. In 1928, Moderne black and pearl (black striped pearl) was introduced as a Deluxe model and Parker signified this by the addition of a third cap ring on the cap band instead of the usual two found at the time. In 1930, the Duofold line was simplified with tapered ends replacing the familiar "flat top" style. Additional varieties were introduced: burgundy (red and black pearl); Modern green and pearl (green pearl lined); and finally, green and black pearl (green pearl lined with black).But by the early 1930s, the manufacturer considered the Duofold design to be rather outdated. Parker launched its replacement, the Vacumatic, in 1933, and the Duofold line was moved to the second tier, although it closely followed the Vacumatic design with a slimmer profile, streamlined appearance and a vacuum filling mechanism. Duofolds remained popular in Europe, were produced in the 1960s in different sizes and shades, and were revived in the 1980s as Parker's flagship offering once again. In 1988 (to celebrate the company's centenary), Parker launched the Duofold Centennial series of Pens (Nibs, Rollerballs and Pencils). Later, they introduced the Duofold International line with models that also evoked the classic Duofold design, although smaller than the Centennial. There are also differences in the ink feed systems, changing from their push-button filling mechanism to a cartridge/converter system.

PELIKAN SOUVERÄN 600 RUBY RED FOUNTAIN PEN.Barrel in red resin.M nib in 18 kts. gold and 750 ml silver.Piston loading and screw cap.No box.Measures: 13,40 cm. length, 13,9 mm. diameter.The ruby red 600 series has the typical Pelikan characteristics: The barrel and cap are made of high-quality resin, while the clip and rings are made of 24-karat gold-plated gold. The fountain pen has an 18-carat two-tone gold nib and is a limited edition that is hard to come by.The first model of this series was launched in 1950, the model 400. It became a worldwide symbol of the brand thanks to its green striped barrel. In the 1980s, the collection was given its current name: Souverän, although it is also popularly known as "Stresemann", because the Secretary of State of the Weimar Republic was famous for his striped suits, which were reminiscent of this collection.The coating of these pieces is a very laborious task. Starting from a cotton material, a special formula is used and after many steps, a piece is obtained which gradually takes on the form of a striped sheet. The next step consists of shaping the form, rectifying it and finally cutting it with the help of a diamond.The instrument is then polished to a high gloss and finally the clip is mounted in the characteristic stylised pelican shape. In order to achieve an almost perfect transition between the materials, this work must be carried out with the utmost precision.Over the years, all the fountain pens in this extensive collection have undergone changes in design and technical details, but the filling mechanism has remained virtually unchanged, as it is based on the well-known plunger mechanism invented by Pelikan in 1929.

It was founded in 1925 by Armando Simoni.Initially a small workshop dedicated to the repair of fountain pens, it managed to evolve rapidly thanks to the creation of machines and equipment necessary to obtain the mouldings and the grinding of the nib tips.After the death of "Cavaliere Simoni", in 1958 his daughter Raffaella and her husband Angelo Malaguti inherited the company. In 1983 his grandson, Gianluca Malaguti, joined the family business, where he showed his talent in the search for beauty and harmony of design, following the tradition of the Bolognese brand.OMAS was part of the Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton S.A. group, and in June 2018 it was announced that Ancora, another Italian fountain pen manufacturer, had acquired OMAS and that production would resume and OMAS would remain a separate brand, retaining its classic models and using the materials inherited from the previous company.
