Montegrappa Reminiscence fountain pen with a gold‑plated body and cap, lever filler, 123.6 mm long and 10 mm in diameter, made in Italy, in good used condition and functioning.
Description from the seller
The pen is presented in very good condition, with an elegant, solid, and well-maintained appearance, typical of a well-kept Montegrappa Reminiscence.
The golden overlay covering the body and cap maintains a uniform and attractive shine, with the classic Greek key pattern clearly defined and deep. No dents, dings, or material losses are observed. Only very slight superficial micro-signs are visible, detectable only upon close inspection, and consistent with very moderate use, without affecting the aesthetic or overall presence of the piece.
The screw cap screws on smoothly and securely, ensuring a proper closure. The threads are clean and well-maintained, with no abnormal wear. The gold clip, of classic Montegrappa design with a terminal ball, remains straight, well aligned, and fully functional, with a light, uniform patina consistent with the overall appearance.
The Montegrappa gold nib, engraved with 'MONTEGRAPPA 335,' is in excellent structural condition, free of cracks, fissures, or repairs. It maintains proper alignment and an intact tip, offering smooth and fluid writing. The engravings on the nib remain sharp and well-defined.
The lever filler system is preserved as complete and operational. The lever functions correctly and discreetly integrates into the body, in line with the vintage aesthetic of the Reminiscence series. As is customary with fountain pens featuring this system, a preventive review or maintenance is recommended before continued use, especially if it will be used regularly.
Overall, this is a very well-preserved, elegant, and original Montegrappa Reminiscence, with a condition clearly above average, ideal for both collectors and users seeking a fountain pen with a classic character and modern quality.
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
