For your consideration, we are pleased to offer for sale this Never Inked, Mint-in-Box 1995 Parker Duofold Centennial Mandarin Yellow Limited Edition No. 6310 of 10,000, fitted with an 18K Medium nib (.74mm) and finished in rich 18K gold trim. Preserved in true New Old Stock condition, this exceptional example includes its original Limited Edition presentation boxes, Parker literature, converter, and Parker factory ink cartridges.
Issued in 1995 to commemorate Parker’s 125th Anniversary, the Mandarin Yellow Limited Edition pays tribute to the enduring vision of George S. Parker. The vibrant mandarin hue recalls the bold lacquer finishes admired during Parker’s travels to the Orient in the 1920s—a color that became one of the most coveted and iconic expressions of the original vintage Duofold line. This modern Centennial revival captures that same spirit of optimism, ambition, and unmistakable presence.
Crafted in the full Centennial size—the largest Duofold configuration—the pen measures approximately 5 3/8 inches capped and 6 7/8 inches posted, with a balanced weight of 1.03 ounces. The brilliant mandarin resin is complemented by luminous 18K gold trim (excluding the clip), all of which remains bright and free of wear. The cap finial is adorned with a special Mandarin Yellow Duofold medallion, and the barrel bears the full inscription, “GEO. S. PARKER PARKER PEN CO. DUOFOLD FOUNTAIN PEN MANDARIN YELLOW” alongside the individually engraved Limited Edition number 6310 / 10,000 within the banner. The section ring is hallmarked 18K with English assay marks, underscoring the quality of its gold appointments.
The barrel and cap are immaculate, free from nicks, chips, cracks, scratches, or repairs. The threads are crisp and secure, and there are no monograms or personal engravings.
At the heart of this Centennial is its large 18K solid gold Duofold nib, marked “M” on the feed for Medium. The iridium tipping measures approximately .74mm with digital calipers. The nib has never been inked and remains in pristine, untouched condition—exactly as it left the factory.
This Duofold utilizes a Parker-branded converter (included) and will also accept Parker cartridges; original Parker cartridges remain housed within the presentation box.
Complete with its original factory packaging and documentation, all in excellent condition, this Mandarin Yellow Centennial represents one of the most celebrated modern Duofold releases. Vibrant, historically inspired, and impeccably preserved, it stands as a fitting homage to the legendary color that captivated George Parker—and a cornerstone piece for any serious Parker collection.
