Parker - Lucky Curve True Blue - Fountain pen

A0000005435P07 This Parker Lucky Curve True Blue, from the transition period of 1931–1932, is presented in an exceptional state of preservation within its category. It is a historic piece whose original mix of True Blue celluloid on the cap and Amber Laminated celluloid on the body makes it a scarce variant, highly valued by Parker collectors pre-Vacumatic. The cap preserves the characteristic pearlescent blue celluloid with ivory-toned veins, typical of the original True Blue model. Its surface maintains the gloss and natural texture of the material without cracks or deformations, which is particularly notable in pieces of this age. The PARKER-engraved clip remains firm, well aligned and with minor but uniform gold wear, while the three gold bands remain intact and properly seated in the cap structure. The body, made of amber laminated celluloid, is equally well preserved. It features a deep shine and characteristic transparency very well maintained, with no signs of crystallization or material deterioration. The Lucky Curve engraving is legible, faithful testimony of an early production and increasingly hard to find. The breather and lever show natural aging of the metal, without affecting the mechanical integrity of the piece. The 14-karat gold nib, engraved with the Parker brand, demonstrates excellent structural integrity: the tines are aligned, the tip is clean and undamaged, and the surface retains its original hue. But it is not original to the model. The ebonite feed, with its characteristic grooved structure, is complete and in very good condition. It’s a replacement nib from another Parker pen. The button-filling mechanism works correctly, with a firm lever and no play, indicating proper maintenance and responsible conservation over time. The cap and body threads operate smoothly and precisely, with no excessive wear. Overall, this transition Parker Lucky Curve True Blue represents an extraordinary example of historical preservation: authentic, aesthetically coherent, functional and highly collectible. Its condition makes it an ideal piece both for a top-tier collection and for those seeking a vintage fountain pen with its own character and an unmistakable identity within the Parker legacy. It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper conservation. Happy bidding!
