Montblanc Simplo 2 fountain pen, made in Germany, with a red resin body and gold-plated metal fittings, 12.6 cm long and 1 cm in diameter, in good used condition and fully functional.
Description from the seller
Item in very good overall condition, with an especially attractive presence thanks to its vibrant red resin finish, well preserved and with an even shine that enhances its vintage aesthetic. The body retains good structural integrity, showing only light signs of handling over time, with no cracks or deformations.
The engraving “Montblanc Simplo” remains sharp and legible, with minimal wear that does not compromise its readability, adding authenticity and character to the piece. The metal elements, including the gold clip, are in solid condition, with mild signs of use and micro-marks, but maintaining a good overall appearance and proper functionality.
The Montblanc star on the cap shows clear signs of aging, with material loss at the top, something common in pieces from this era, which does not affect functionality but is something to consider aesthetically and from a collector’s standpoint.
The gold nib is in good condition, with correct geometry and no visible deformations. The feed fits well and the assembly has been checked, ensuring functional writing. The filling system retains its original structure, with signs of use in the mechanism area, but operable 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 high-quality fountain pen inks, avoiding pigmented inks. Clean with lukewarm water if not used for a period, 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!
