{"product_id":"parker-duofold-ballpoint-pen-grey-pearl","title":"Parker Duofold Ballpoint Pen - Grey Pearl","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Parker Duofold Ballpoint Pen - Grey Pearl combines the commanding proportions of Parker's modern flagship with a marbled acrylic that changes character as it turns in the light. Silver, charcoal, and pearl-grey tones move through the body in irregular layers, framed by gold-plated trim and the broad Parker arrow clip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Distinctive Mark II Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrey Pearl entered the Duofold range in 1998 during the Mark II generation of the modern collection. The revised Duofold used more tapered ends, balanced ring details, and a dedicated crown emblem, refining the design Parker had revived in the late 1980s. The finish remained available until 2004, giving it a clearly defined place within the Newhaven-made Duofold chronology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe acrylic is more than a color treatment. Its pattern runs through the material rather than sitting on the surface, creating depth that cannot be reproduced by flat paint or lacquer. Each pen therefore presents a slightly different arrangement of veining and tonal contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWriting Experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe twist-action ballpoint mechanism offers immediate, dependable operation and accepts Parker-style refills. The substantial barrel distributes weight comfortably across the hand, while the tapered writing end provides control for signatures, correspondence, and regular desk use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCollector Perspective\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrey Pearl is one of the more visually complex regular-production Duofold finishes from the Mark II period. Its appeal lies in the combination of traditional black-and-gold Parker detailing with an acrylic that feels organic and individual rather than strictly formal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Ballpoint Pen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollection: Parker Duofold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneration: Mark II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Grey Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Marbled acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrim: Gold-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanism: Twist-action ballpoint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefill Type: Parker-style ballpoint refill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary Color: Grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: United Kingdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Parker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54452865335571,"sku":"PK-DI-BP-GP","price":499.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2083\/6627\/files\/Parker-Duofold-Ballpoint-Pen-Grey-Pearl-leaning.jpg?v=1784643450","url":"https:\/\/www.truphaeinc.com\/products\/parker-duofold-ballpoint-pen-grey-pearl","provider":"Truphae","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
