AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A0000004350
The Montblanc 142 Masterpiece fountain pen presented here shows a very attractive overall condition, with notable preservation reflecting careful use over time.
The body and cap, made of high-quality black resin, maintain a deep uniform shine, with light micro-scratches characteristic of normal use, visible only under detailed inspection. No cracks, dents or deformations are observed, indicating excellent structural integrity. The barrel transparencies allow glimpsing the clean interior, adding further value to the piece.
The gold bands maintain a very good finish, with homogeneous gold and no significant losses. The cap ring bears sharp, well-defined engravings, with the marking Montblanc perfectly legible, reinforcing authenticity and good conservation.
The clip, of classic design, is firm, well aligned and with a prominent shine, with no deformations or notable wear, maintaining all its original elegance.
The original Montblanc nib in 14-karat gold (14K) is in very good condition. It preserves its correct geometry, with no visible deformation in the tines, and with iridium well defined. The feed shows normal signs of use, but without damage, guaranteeing proper flow. The pen has been serviced and is delivered in perfect working order, ready to write.
The filling system, in line with its era, has been tested and works correctly, ensuring a reliable writing experience.
It is worth noting the presence of the engraving "142" on the end of the body, clearly visible and well defined, a detail especially appreciated by collectors.
Conclusion about the condition:
This is an exemplar in very good overall condition, with light signs of use consistent with its age, but maintaining a very cared-for aesthetic and fully operational functionality.
Preservation recommendations
To preserve this piece in optimal condition, it is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoid pigment inks, periodically clean with lukewarm water if not used for some time, dry completely before storing, keep in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, and operate the filling system gently.
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper conservation.
Happy bidding!
