Description from the seller
This Montegrappa 1912 fountain pen, crafted in marbled celluloid in yellow and green tones, with 925 sterling silver details, is presented in excellent condition. It is a piece that reflects the artisanal mastery and the classical elegance of the Italian house, showing barely any signs of handling and kept in a display case.
