Parker Duofold Mk II International Black/Silver 2-Piece Writing Set — Fountain Pen & Rollerball, 18K Fine Nib, c. 1996–early 2000s

A handsome Parker Duofold Mk II International two-piece writing set in black with silver-tone trim, including a fountain pen and matching rollerball. The fountain pen is fitted with an 18K Fine nib, offering a precise, refined writing line with the polished feel Parker’s Duofold line is known for.

This set has the even raised cap bands associated with the Mk II Duofold redesign, placing it after the earlier Mk I production period. Both pieces measure approximately 5 1/8" closed, consistent with the International size.

Clean, classic, and modern-looking, this black-and-silver Duofold set has a slightly sleeker presence than the traditional black-and-gold version, while still carrying the substance and quality of Parker’s flagship writing line.

Why We Love It
The black and silver combination gives this Duofold set a crisp, understated look — polished enough for a professional desk, but not overly formal. The Fine 18K nib makes the fountain pen especially practical for everyday writing, while the rollerball adds easy day-to-day usability. Together, they make a strong, giftable Parker set even without original packaging.

Styling Notes
A smart addition to a writing desk, leather portfolio, collector’s tray, or executive stationery setup. The silver-tone trim gives the set a more contemporary look than traditional gold trim, making it especially appealing for someone who wants a classic fountain pen with a cleaner modern finish.
