Description from the seller
A0000003763
The fountain pen is presented in excellent condition, showing a generally very well-kept and attractive appearance. The body and cap, fashioned in technical resin with a Honeycomb finish (honeycomb) in black “Black Knight,” maintain a deep, uniform shine, perfectly preserving the model’s characteristic three-dimensional relief. The surfaces appear clean and well-preserved, with only slight signs of handling typical of very occasional use, without structural damage or relevant marks.
The metal clip in the shape of a pen — one of Pineider’s most distinctive features — is firm, well-aligned, and its polished finish intact. The metal fittings and elements retain a bright appearance, with no finish loss or evident signs of wear.
The Pineider nib in stainless steel engraved with the firm’s emblem and the inscription “Medium,” accompanied by a high-capacity feed, presents in very good aesthetic condition. No deformations or visible alterations in the tip are observed.
The Mystery Filler loading system, characteristic of the La Grande Bellezza series, has been inspected and operates correctly, allowing proper ink filling and smooth operation.
The pen comes with its original Pineider case, documentation, and a bottle of ink from the brand, completing a carefully presented package in line with a high-end writing instrument.
Overall, it is a very well-preserved example, ideal for both collection and everyday use.
Conservation recommendations
To keep the fountain pen in optimal condition, it is recommended to use only inks of quality specifically intended for fountain pens and to avoid pigment inks. If not used for an extended period, it is advisable to rinse it with lukewarm water, dry it carefully before storing, and keep it in a dry place, protected from direct light and extreme temperatures. The filling system should be operated gently at all times to ensure its proper long-term function.
Happy bidding!
