AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A0000001813
The pen is in very good condition, with an elegant and well-maintained aesthetic, consistent with an American-made Sheaffer Imperial piece.
The integrated 14K (585) solid gold nib is intact, clean, and perfectly aligned, with no deformations, cracks, or abnormal wear. The tip retains its original geometry and shows very light use, ensuring smooth and consistent writing.
The polished black resin body maintains a deep and uniform shine, with no cracks or dents. Only superficial micro-signs of use are visible, which can only be seen under detailed inspection and are typical of the passage of time, but they do not affect its overall aesthetics or functionality in any way.
The gold-plated metal cap, with vertical striation, is in very good condition, with no plating loss or corrosion. It shows minor cosmetic marks consistent with careful use, maintaining a bright and attractive finish. The clip is firm, straight, and fully functional.
The characteristic white tip of Sheaffer is complete and well preserved, contributing the classic visual hallmark of the brand.
Overall, it is a well-preserved, solid, and visually very attractive pen, ideal for both daily use and collection.
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Good auction!
