Perfect gift for a loved one! Almost brand new, CLEANED (silver polish, no rubbing), LUBRICATED (specialty on joints) & TESTED Dear future buyer, This piece is almost brand new and is ready for use, thank you! This is a beautiful vintage Parker 75 "Ciselé" anniversary sterling silver ballpoint pen. It's close to factory condition and it shows no scratches. It uses commonly available refills, which I also included a picture of. The ballpoint was also tested and it writes beautifully. I also have the pen companion up for sale now, feel free to take a look on my account and read about it here: https://penthoughts.home.blog/2019/03/03/review-the-parker-75-sterling-cicele/ Also, feel free to look online for the series, as this was and is very popular with pen enthusiasts and writers, and was covered in multiple articles and magazines! This beautiful pen is also specially engraved with the French silver stamp and the MD production lot. Additionally, as a vintage objects collector myself, I carefully restored it so you will get a fully functional and complete piece of art! Please Note: - The pen is compatible wit any modern day refills! - The black box is only for providing a safe photo cushion. - The shipping will be done by courier, with the best protective packaging, insurance and a tracking code, as I would do for myself Thank you and happy treasure hunting!
