    A classic pen that will never go out of style
    The pen arrived in a beautiful gift box that proudly displayed the pen. First time touching the pen, it is just pure class and luxurious. I love the gold on ivory color combination. I did a close inspection and the craftsmanship is flawless; not a single faulty with the pen. I immediately installed the included cartridge and the pen started to write immediately without any issues (Parker also included a converter installed in the barrel). The “ace” design of the nib is gorgeous and timeless to say the least. Of course the writing quality is superb and smooth. Mine is the Fine nib and its line size is exactly the same as my Sailor Pro Gear 21k. Note that this pen is big and I don’t post the cap when writing; this will only make the pen too big and awkward. I probably won’t write with this pen everyday but it will forever be in my collection.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr positiv überrascht
    Reviewed in Germany on December 3, 2020
    Parker Fuellfederhalter haben unter Fuellerfreaks leider nicht den besten Ruf, der Duofold ist aber eine, vielbesprochene und hochgelobte, Ausnahme.
    Die Groesse des Centennial entspricht ziemlich genau einem Pelikan M 800, zählt also schon zu den Grossen.
    Im Bilde der Vergleich: Montblanc Meisterstueck 149 (oben), Parker Duofold Centennial, Pelikan M 1000, M 805, M 205; im zweiten Bild direkter Vergleich mit dem M 805 (rechts).
    Die feine Feder meines Centennial schreibt mit etwas Feedback, aber nicht kratzig, federt schoen (nicht so schoen wie die grossen Pelikanfedern), man bekommt auch durchaus verschiedene Strichbreiten hin. Umgedreht schreibt er sehr fein, durchaus praktikabel.
    Insgesamt ist die Feder eher nass schreibend, was ich als sehr angenehm für eine feine Feder empfinde.
    Die Haptik ist gut und auch für laengere Schriftstuecke gut geeignet.
    Der Preis? Bei einem flagship pen immer zu hoch und gerade bei diesem hier extrem schwankend; wenn man ein Liebhaber des gepflegten Schreibgeraetes ist, sollte man im niedrigen 300er Bereich aber durchaus zugreifen. Das ist er allemal wert.
