AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000004767

The nib/pen is presented in very good general 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 at all affecting its overall aesthetics. No cracks, chips, or deformations are observed.

The palladium-finished metal elements, such as the clip and the central ring engraved “Van Gogh”, are in very good condition, preserving their definition and legibility. Very fine signs of use or micro scratches may be seen, consistent 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 pen has been inspected and tested, ensuring proper functioning of the filling system and smooth writing.

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

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

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

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