Montegrappa Miya Argento fountain pen with a solid silver cap and silver band, blue marbled resin body, 135 mm long and 15.4 mm in diameter, one item from Italy, in good used condition with minor signs of age, bi‑color nib with point M and working order.
Description from the seller
This exquisite Montegrappa Miya presents an excellent state of preservation, combining the refinement of the cap in solid .925 silver with the luminous depth of its blue marbled resin body. The piece maintains an impeccable presence and a uniform shine on both the metal elements and the resin, evidencing very careful use.
The silver cap shows its characteristic guilloché with sharp definition on all panels, with no noticeable wear and preserving a silky polish typical of Italian craftsmanship. The clip, firm and perfectly aligned, is free of deformations and retains its original curvature. Official marks — including the ★1140VI seal and the 925 purity — remain deeply engraved and completely legible.
The blue pearlized resin body is in outstanding condition: no dents, no microcracks, and no opaque areas. Its spiral pattern offers intense reflections that change with the light, enhancing its artistic character. The lower ring, also in silver, preserves its shine and shows no significant signs of rubbing.
The two-tone Montegrappa nib, point M, maintains a solid appearance, though it shows some wear from time and use. The decorative engraving is deep and clean, reflecting the quality that characterizes the brand. The feeder is in excellent condition, indicating moderate use and proper maintenance.
The locking and threading mechanisms operate smoothly and precisely, with no play or abnormal friction. The pen is delivered with its original Montegrappa case, which, although showing signs of use along the outer edges, remains intact and adequately protects the piece.
Overall, this is a collectible pen, elegant and very well preserved, ready to be enjoyed both as a high-level writing instrument and to stand out in any display cabinet. An exemplar that stands out for its beauty, quality, and state that is difficult to find on the current market.
Happy bidding!
