Classic Pen CP5 Parker Duofold Celebration "Vintage Moire" LE #384 of 500 - Medium 18kt Gold Nib (1999 - MINT COMPLETE PACKAGING!)

The Classic Pens CP5 is an official Parker Limited Edition. Two different pens were made in this Edition. Each sterling silver pen blank was sent to the Murelli company in France and was individually guilloched engraved creating the two deeply cut distinctive patterns on the pens. The CP5 Vintage Moire, created on on a 1928 vintage circular engraving machine, has a flowing vintage pattern intended to reflect engraving styles seen contemporary to the original Parker Duofold, and the pen was fitted with the flat cap top and emblem decal featured on the early style modern Duofolds. The other pen, not offered here*, the CP5 Modern Fishnet pattern, created on a modern engraving machine, was intended to reflect contemporary design, made from two linear engravings, circular rings counterpointed with a wavy diamond pattern, and the pen was fitted with the tapered cap top and emblem decal featured on the 1996 style modern Duofolds. Both pens use the 1996 "banner" style nib unit. Classic Pens Intended to offer 1,888 CP5 sets when the Limited Edition was released in 1999 (as stated on the Box, Literature, and pen itself), but only 500 numbered sets were actually made, due to a change in ownership at Parker, making the pens even more exclusive.
