The fountain pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing remarkable preservation both aesthetically and functionally.

The red marbled resin body maintains excellent gloss and depth of color, with the characteristic veins well defined and no noticeable discolorations. There are light micro-signs of use, typical of the passage of time and careful use, but without cracks, impacts or structural defects. The black areas (butt cap and cap) likewise retain a good finish, with minimal signs of handling.

The gold elements — clip, rings and embellishments — are in very good condition, with uniform shine and no significant losses of plating, which reinforces its visual appeal.

The solid 18K gold nib is in excellent condition, without deformations or abnormal wear, maintaining proper alignment and fluent writing. The feed is clean and in optimal working condition.

The filling system has been inspected and tested, functioning correctly, guaranteeing a reliable writing experience from the first use.

Overall, it is a very well-preserved piece, fully functional and ready for use or collection, with light signs of use coherent with its age.

Conservation recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens and to avoid pigmented inks. In case of prolonged non-use, clean with warm water, dry completely before storing and keep in a dry place, away from direct light and extreme temperatures. Always operate the filling mechanism gently to preserve its long-term mechanics.

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

Happy bidding!
