AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A0000003945
The Cartier Cougar Must de Cartier fountain pen presented in this lot is in excellent overall condition, showing a very well cared-for appearance fully in line with a piece of its category and era.
The body and cap in black resin with a guilloche-like pattern are preserved with very good shine and definition in the vertical ridges, with no material losses or deformations. The surface shows only very light signs of superficial use, practically imperceptible to the naked eye and typical of careful handling over time. The overall aesthetic remains elegant and very attractive.
The gold-plated elements — clip, rings and end pieces — present a bright, uniform finish, with excellent visual presence. No significant wear is observed on the plating, and the pieces maintain their structural and aesthetic integrity.
The solid 18-carat gold nib (750), engraved with the Cartier emblem, is in very good condition, correctly aligned and retaining a clean tip. The feed keeps its fins in perfect structural condition, ensuring proper ink flow regulation.
The writing system has been reviewed and tested for proper functioning, delivering a fully operational piece ready to write, as is customary for pieces prepared by Collecting Legacy.
Also included is its original Cartier red case, which shows a good overall condition with slight normal signs of storage.
Overall, this is a very well-preserved fountain pen, elegant and perfectly functional, ideal for everyday use as well as for collection.
Conservation recommendations
To preserve the pen in optimal condition, it is recommended to use quality fountain pen inks, avoiding pigmented inks or those with particles. If the pen will not be used for an extended period, it is advisable to rinse it with lukewarm water, dry it properly before storing, and keep it in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures. It is also recommended to operate the filling mechanism gently to maintain the mechanism in perfect condition over time.
It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Happy bidding!
