Just got permission from Fountain Pen Network-Philippines founder, the writer Jose Dalisay, to share photos of his beautiful custom Parker Duofold. It's a solid bronze Parker Duofold Senior replica made by artisan Chris Thompson. It stayed in storage for a few years, until Dalisay decided to send it to master engraver Jay del Fierro. This recently arrived after a month at Del Fierro's workshop. He retained a rectangular cartouche on which the pen's brand and logo would have been imprinted.

@_ The person who owned the bottle uses it for editing - it makes a good contrast color and is not as agitating to her as red ink is. She gave me a sample because she knew I had a small collection of pink inks.
