AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000004767

The pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing careful preservation and consistent with moderate use.

The black resin body maintains excellent shine and depth, with slight micro-scratches typical of use, visible only under direct light and in no way affecting its overall aesthetics. No cracks, dents, or deformations are observed.

The palladium-finished metal elements, such as the clip and the central band engraved "Van Gogh," are in very good condition, preserving their definition and legibility. Very fine signs of use or micro-scratches can be seen, coherent with the passage of time, but without material loss or significant wear.

The steel nib is in excellent condition, clean, well aligned, and ready for use. The fountain pen has been serviced and tested, guaranteeing the proper functioning of the filling system and smooth writing.

The screw closure system works smoothly and precisely, ensuring a firm closure.

Overall, it is a very well-preserved piece, fully operational and ready for both use and collection.

Preservation recommendations
It is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically designed for fountain pens, avoid pigmented inks, clean with lukewarm water if not used for a period, dry completely before storing, keep in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures, and always operate the mechanism gently to preserve its mechanism.

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