The Weird World of Ebay Ads... A Striped Duofold

One only can wonder what is meant in the following quote...

THIS IS AN EARLY PARKER DUOFOLD BLUE DIAMOND. THE ONLY THING THAT SHOWS WEAR ON THIS PEN IS THE CLIP WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF WEAR THRUGH ON THE TOP OF THE CLIP. THE BLUE DIAMOND IS STILL 95% BLUE. BEAUTIFUL BITE AND SCRATCH FREE CASE THAT IS SHADES OF BLACK, AMBER, GOLD, GREEN, AND MAYBE SOME OTHERS. THREE GOLD BANDS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CLIP. HAS THE PARKER "ARROW" #6 14kt GOLD NIB. I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THESE PENS ADVERTISED "RESTORED", BUT WHY BUY ONE THAT IS RESTORED WHEN YOU CAN HAVE ONE THAT DOESN'T NEED IT.
Indeed, I s'pose, why buy a pen that has been professionally restored when you can have one that doesn't need it. Doesn't need it?  A magic pen no doubt ;)

Be careful on ebay, folks

Typical HTML tabs for BROAD and ITALIC should work. Others... maybe not.
