AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000004353

The pen is presented in excellent overall condition, showing a very high level of preservation both aesthetically and functionally. The resin body in “Primary Manipulation” maintains a deep, uniform shine, with the multicolor patterns perfectly defined, without any loss of intensity or noticeable discolorations. No cracks, deformations, or structural defects are observed.

Cosmetically, extremely light handling micro-scratches typical of very careful use can be appreciated, only visible under close inspection and direct light, with no impact on the piece's overall aesthetics.

The metal elements (clip, central decorative ring, and end pieces) are in very good condition, preserving their finish with minimal signs of use.

The piston-fiston filling system has been checked and tested, operating smoothly and precisely, ensuring efficient filling. The side windows correctly visualize the ink level. The steel nib, paired with a ebonite feed, is in perfect condition, aligned and ready to deliver a smooth and steady writing experience.

The original Nahvalur box and documentation are included, which significantly increase its appeal and value within the collector’s market.

Conservation recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality fountain pen inks, avoiding pigmented inks. If not used for extended periods, rinse with lukewarm water, dry completely before storing, and keep in a dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Always operate the filling system gently to preserve its proper function.
