AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The fountain pen is presented in very good condition, maintaining an elegant and well-kept appearance appropriate for a high-end writing piece. The metal body lacquered in glossy black preserves an excellent level of shine and uniformity, with light micro-signs of superficial use typical of a piece previously handled, visible only under close inspection and not affecting its overall aesthetics in any way.

The cap shows an equally cared-for presence, with the characteristic gold clip of Sheaffer and its distinctive White Dot correctly aligned and in very good condition, preserving its original shine. The rings and gold elements maintain a good presence, with slight signs of normal aging but without significant finish loss or deformations. The cap closure functions correctly, offering a firm and secure fit.

The 18K solid gold inlaid nib is clean, well aligned and visually very well preserved. The engraving is sharp and the overall design preserves the iconic aesthetics of Sheaffer’s integrated design. The feed and section are in good structural condition.

The Touchdown filling system has been serviced and the pen is delivered fully operational, ready for use, in line with the usual inspection standards for collectible writing pieces.

Overall, this is a fountain pen that maintains an excellent aesthetic and functional presence, ideal for both everyday use and collection.

Preservation recommendations

To preserve proper function and longevity of the pen, it is recommended to always use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoiding pigmented inks or those with particles. If the pen will not be used for an extended period, it is advisable to clean it with warm water, carefully dry it before storing and keep it in a dry place, without direct exposure to sunlight or extreme temperatures. It is recommended to operate the filling system gently at all times.

It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper conservation.

Happy bidding!
