AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The fountain pen is in good overall condition, in accordance with its age and normal use over time.
The body and the cap retain their structure correctly, with no cracks or breaks, showing signs of use and superficial micro-scratches typical of a vintage piece. The finish displays a natural and uniform patina, highly valued by collectors, which does not affect the functionality or the overall solidity.
The original engravings remain visible and legible, with slight wear consistent with the years, which confirms their authenticity and historical use.
The gold nib is in good structural condition, with no noticeable cracks or deformations. It shows normal aesthetic wear from writing, maintaining its shape and proper alignment.
The charging system is complete; as with any old fountain pen, careful use or prior inspection is recommended if you wish to use it regularly.
Overall, it is an original, honest pen without invasive restorations, ideal both for collection and for those seeking a classic piece with character and historical presence.
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Good auction!
