AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The pen is presented in very good condition, showing a generally clean and well-cared-for appearance that reflects moderate and respectful use over time.

The metal body and cap with fluted palladium finish retain a uniform and elegant shine, with the longitudinal texture perfectly defined. There are slight micro-scratches from normal handling, but no dents, dings, or significant wear. The overall look remains very attractive.

The black resin section is in excellent condition, with a glossy surface and no cracks or deformations. The threads and cap fitting work correctly, providing a firm and secure closure.

The Sheaffer clip with the emblematic White Dot is straight and well-aligned, maintaining proper tension and functionality.

The integrated 18K solid gold nib, one of Sheaffer's most iconic features, is in very good structural condition, correctly aligned and without deformation. It retains its clear engravings and offers an impeccable aesthetic.

The filling system accepts Sheaffer cartridges or a converter, and this piece is supplied with its converter, allowing comfortable use with bottled ink. The mechanism has been checked and operates correctly.

The pen has been tested and prepared for use, ensuring proper operation.

Conservation recommendations

To keep the pen in optimal condition, use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoiding pigmented or highly saturated inks. If it will not be used for an extended period, it is advisable to clean it with warm water, dry it thoroughly before storing, and keep it in a dry place, away from direct light and extreme temperatures. When operating the filling system, always do so gently to preserve the internal mechanism.

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

Happy bidding!
