AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A0000004767
The pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing careful maintenance and consistent with moderate use.
The black resin body maintains excellent shine and depth, with light micro-scratches typical of use, visible only under direct light and not affecting its overall aesthetics in the slightest. No cracks, dings, or deformations are observed.
The palladium-finish metal elements, such as the clip and the central ring engraved with “Van Gogh,” are in very good condition, preserving their definition and legibility. You may notice very fine signs of use or micro scratches, consistent with the passage of time, but with no material loss or significant wear.
The steel nib is in excellent condition, clean, well aligned, and ready for use. The pen has been serviced and tested, guaranteeing proper operation of the filling system and smooth writing.
The screw-clamp closure system operates smoothly and precisely, ensuring a firm closure.
Overall, this is a very well-preserved piece, fully operational and ready for both use and collection.
Preservation recommendations
It is recommended to use quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoid pigmented inks, clean with lukewarm water if not used for a while, 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 workings.
It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation. Happy bidding!
