AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000003686

The Sheaffer Legacy fountain pen is presented in a highly pristine state of preservation, evidencing minimal use and careful maintenance over time.

The metal body with a ribbed finish maintains a uniform and deep shine, with clean reflections that enhance its elegant design. No dings, dents, or material loss are noticeable; only micro-surface signs typical of very light handling, practically imperceptible to the naked eye, may be found.

The cap preserves its geometry and fit intact, with the clip perfectly aligned and firm, with no play or deformations. The ensemble conveys solidity and precision, characteristics typical of the Sheaffer Legacy range.

The section, in black resin, is in excellent condition, with a smooth and glossy surface, without cracks or relevant wear. The transition between materials is clean and well defined.

The integrated nib, characteristic of this model, is in very good condition. It retains its original shape, with no visible deformations, sharp engravings (Sheaffer 18K 750) and a polished surface that correctly reflects light. The tip shows minimal wear, in line with very moderate use, suggesting smooth and reliable writing.

Overall, the piece stands out for its excellent aesthetic presence and its above-average level of conservation, making it a very attractive option both for use and for collection.

Conservation recommendations

To keep the piece in optimal condition, it is recommended to use quality inks specific to fountain pens, avoid pigmented inks, clean with lukewarm water if not used for a while, dry completely before storing, store in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures, and operate the filling system gently at all times.

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

Happy bidding!
