Description from the seller
A0000004770
The pen is presented in very good overall condition, evidencing careful use appropriate to its category.
The body in black lacquer retains an excellent shine and uniformity, with barely noticeable micro-scratches typical of normal use that do not affect its aesthetics or presence. The cap and palladium-finished metal elements maintain a high level of polish, showing only light signs of handling visible under direct light.
The clip, with the distinctive White Dot of Sheaffer, is perfectly firm, aligned, and functional, preserving its original tension. The markings on the ring remain defined and legible.
The closure system via snap-cap closes correctly, offering a secure and precise fit, with no play. The nib is in good condition and the writing system has been checked, ensuring proper functioning.
No impacts, cracks, or structural damage are observed, which confirms a notable state of conservation within its segment.
Conservation recommendations:
- Use high-quality refill cartridges compatible with Sheaffer to ensure optimal performance.
- Avoid drops or bumps that could affect the internal mechanism.
- Regularly clean the exterior with a soft cloth to maintain the finish’s shine.
- Store in a dry place, away from direct light and extreme temperatures.
- Operate the twist mechanism gently to preserve its precision.
