AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000004369

Excellent general condition of the exemplar, with an especially attractive presence thanks to its vibrant red resin finish, well preserved and with a uniform shine that enhances its vintage aesthetics. The body maintains good structural integrity, showing only light signs of surface wear due to the passage of time, with no cracks or deformations.

The engraving “Montblanc Simplo” remains sharp and legible, with minimal wear that does not compromise its readability, contributing authenticity and character to the piece. The metal elements, including the gold clip, show solid condition, with light signs of use and micro marks, but maintaining a good overall appearance and proper functionality.

The Montblanc star on the cap shows evident signs of aging, with material loss at the top, something common in pieces from this era, which does not affect functionality but is a cosmetic and collection consideration.

The gold nib is in good condition, with correct geometry and no visible deformities. The feeder fits well and the assembly has been serviced, ensuring functional writing. The filling system retains its original structure, with signs of use in the mechanism area, but operational after inspection.

Overall, an honest piece, with wear appropriate to its age, well preserved structurally and fully functional, ideal for both use and collection.

Conservation recommendations

It is recommended to use quality fountain pen inks, avoiding pigmented inks. Clean with lukewarm water if not used for a while, dry before storing, keep in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures, and operate the filling system gently.

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

Happy bidding!
